Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has lashed out at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over comments suggesting he was “lucky” to have President Bola Tinubu as a tolerant leader despite his criticisms.
POLITICS NIGERIA had earlier reported that Wike, during the flag-off of the Arterial Road N1 construction in Wuye, Abuja, on Thursday, criticised Sowore for describing President Tinubu as a “criminal.”
Wike stated that Sowore should count himself fortunate to have a president who respects the rule of law.
Reacting via his verified X account, Sowore accused the FCT minister of gross misconduct, alleging corruption, land grabbing, and violence during his time in office.
“I heard that the FCT’s drunkard–murderer–landgrabber–thief minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, said Bola Ahmed Tinubu should have assassinated me for calling him #TinubuIsACriminal,” Sowore wrote.
The former presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) further claimed that Wike lacked the moral standing to criticise anyone.
“Wike is a dedicated criminal. His day will come. His threatening me with assassination on behalf of Tinubu is nothing new.
“If Nigerians weren’t so docile, complacent, and cowardly, criminals, thieves, and murderers like Wike would never have any leadership roles in this country.
SAD! Wike stole land in Abuja, Wike robbed the people of Rivers State, and Wike massacred Igbos at Obigbo,” he added.
According to Sowore, “Wike should be in The Hague at the International Criminal Court.”
