FCT, Abuja – The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Lere Olayinka, has dismissed allegations by activist and SaharaReporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, that President Bola Tinubu and Minister Nyesom Wike were plotting to assassinate him.
In a statement issued on Saturday, September 20, in Abuja, Olayinka described the claims as “mind games” and a tactic by Sowore to sustain his lifestyle.

According to Olayinka, Sowore should focus on his ongoing criminal trial rather than “recklessly dragging national leaders” into his troubles.
He said:
“If there is any threat to the life of Sowore, it must be from those he has blackmailed. He should leave President Tinubu and the FCT Minister out of the impending repercussions of his lifestyle.”

The minister’s aide also dismissed Sowore’s recent criticisms of Wike, describing them as “the last kick of a dying horse” and an attempt to “play the victim” before the consequences of his legal battles unfold.
“All the noise he has been making about Wike in the last 48 hours is just part of his usual mind games. He knows the gravity of the charges against him,” Olayinka added.
