Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has disclosed reasons popular lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju, is against him on recent demolitions in Abuja.
Adeyanju had recently led a protest with social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan among others against Wike over the demolition of Ruga, a settlement on Airport Road.
The protesters had asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to urgently address the matter and sack Wike as there was no justification for it.
Responding during an interview with journalists, Wike alleged that Adeyanju was just seeking attention because he was jobless.
The minister disclosed that Adeyanju had previously requested him to support his bid to become Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but he was rejected.
He said, “I saw one young man, they call him Adeyanju. He is from Kogi State.
“This young boy came to me that he wants [sic] to be the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP and I said no.
“I said he won’t be, and he was not.
” I have no regrets about it. He has suddenly become a civil society activist.
“He has no job, and that’s why he decided to turn to a civil society activist.”
