Controversial Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike has alleged that Mr Deji Adeyanju became an emergency activist and started attacking him after he turned down his request to become the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The former Rivers State governor said this while speaking on Wednesday evening during a live media chat in Abuja.
He said Adeyanju, who became jobless on account of the rejection, is now using every opportunity to attack the FCT Administration under him.
Adeyanju had last week led a protest against Wike over the demolition of Ruga, a settlement along Metro line corridor in Wuye District.
Reacting, Wike 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 regrets about it. He has suddenly become a civil society activist. He has no job and that is why he decided to turn to a civil society activist”.
Shortly after the live media chat, Adeyanju had posted on his Facebook page that he was too busy with clients that he would not be making any response until Friday.
Majority of Nigerians fault Wike “anti people” policies in the FCT. They also accuse him of being behind the crisis engulfing the oil-rich Rivers State, where he was governor for eight years.
