The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike has called out renowned lawyer and activist, Deji Adeyanju for criticising his demolitions in the nation’s capital.
Naija News recalls that Adeyanju, alongside Vincent Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, had led a protest against the demolition of Ruga, a settlement along Airport Road, Abuja.
Adeyanju asked President Bola Tinubu to urgently look into the matter, insisting that there is no justification for the demolition.
However, speaking with newsmen on Wednesday, Wike stated that Adeyanju was jobless, hence his reason for becoming an activist.
The former Rivers Governor claimed that Adeyanju came to him begging for the role of Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but he turned him down.
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 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 regret 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.”
