Deji Adeyanju wanted to be PDP National Publicity Secretary but I refused – Wike
By Jeffrey Agbo
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused lawyer and human rights activist Deji Adeyanju of antagonising him because he refused his request sometime ago.
Adeyanju alongside social media personality Martins Otse, popularly called VeryDarkMan, and others led a protest against Wike’s handling of the demolition of Ruga, a settlement along Airport Road.
“There is no justification for this demolition,” Adeyanju said, asking President Bola Tinubu to urgently address the matter.
The protesters also had placards calling Tinubu to sack Wike.
However, Wike, in an interview with journalists, claimed Adeyanju was merely seeking attention due to being “jobless.”

He revealed that Adeyanju had previously requested to become the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but 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 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.”
