FCT, Abuja – Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, retaliates harshly against criticism.
Adeyanju accused Wike of resorting to demolitions without due process in the nationâs capital.
He stated this while reacting to Wikeâs claim that he turned down Adeyanjuâs request to become the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Vangaurd reports.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Friday, November 15, Adeyanju accused the former Rivers governor of land grabbing and targeting poor communities for personal gain.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that Wike, on Wednesday, November 13 evening during a live media chat in Abuja, shed light on the strained relationship between himself and Adeyanju.
Wike revealed that the actual reason Adeyanju is at odds with him was due to a political appointment he denied the rights activist.
The minister noted that his refusal to make Adeyanju PDP’s spokesperson the activist became vocal against his FCTA-led administration.
