Deji Adeyanju, an activist lawyer, has denied pleading with Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory’s minister, to back his then-aspired position as the PDP’s national publicity secretary.
Wike lied about him pleading for his assistance, according to Adeyanju.
In an Abuja speech, Wike said that Adeyanju had attacked him for not endorsing his desire to become the PDP spokesperson.
Wike accused Adeyanju of being a lawyer without a job for condemning him over the recent demolitions in the FCT.
Adeyanju responded by saying that Wike and others should be imprisoned for electoral fraud and “our patrimony theft.”
Speaking at an Abuja press conference, Adeyanju stated: “My only crime against Wike is that I have decided to do constructive criticism against him and his anti-people policies in the FCT and issues around land-grabbing of poor people’s homes and giving them to his friends.
“Thank God that in his reply he has not faulted us for the allegations he raised. He said, ‘Yes, he’s giving the lands that he’s grabbing to his friends, that should he give the lands to his enemies?’
“These are the kind of people that are ruling our country, people that should be in jail for corruption, stealing, and electoral fraud. They are the ones that want to give lectures on morality.
“He allegedly said I came to him and begged him to be National Publicity Secretary of PDP, all Nigerians know that I resigned from politics eight years ago and that event happened before I resigned.
“Over the years, when I criticize him, he calls me that he does not want to be criticized. When I was actively in politics, I met every governor of PDP then. I have never seen where consultation with party leaders will be tagged as begging.
“Wike never said to my face that he won’t support me; he told me twice that he would support me. Whenever you challenge him, he will call you and there is nothing I’m saying that I don’t have the receipt. He does not like to be challenged because he has this God complex; should elders not be people who are confident, who if you do something with it’s safe with them?
“Assuming I went to beg him, which is false, should he call a presser and start crying about nine years later? I consulted with all PDP stakeholders, then I went round all the zones in this country—both when I wanted to be National Publicity Secretary and when the party now changed it to my zone, North Central. Everybody endorsed me over eight years ago. David Mark and all the leaders from the North Central endorsed me.”
