Nigerian lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju has taken a swipe at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, in a series of Facebook posts on Thursday.
Adeyanju sparked reactions after comparing controversial street-hop artist Portable to Wike, claiming the singer is more trustworthy and better at keeping secrets.
“Portable keeps secrets more than Wike and has more integrity. Whoever does anything with Wike is doing so at a market square. Tinubu’s day is coming,” he wrote.

In another post, Adeyanju described Wike as unfit for leadership, calling him a “bloody clown” who “always sounds drunk.”
He argued that only in Nigeria could someone like Wike hold public office, contrasting the situation with the United States where citizens openly criticise leaders like Donald Trump.
“It’s only in a country like Nigeria that clowns like Wike can hold public office. American citizens call Trump different names everyday. Wike is a bloody clown who always sound drunk ,” Adeyanju said.
His comments came in reaction to a statement by activist Omoyele Sowore, who alleged that Wike had suggested President Bola Tinubu should have had him assassinated for calling him a criminal.
Sowore wrote: “I heard that the FCT’s drunkard–murderer Minister, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike – CON, GSSRS, said Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should have assassinated me for calling him a criminal.
ME: If Nigerians weren’t so docile, criminals, thieves, and murderers would never have leadership roles in this country. SAD!”
Adeyanju’s reaction adds to the mounting criticism directed at the FCT Minister, intensifying political debates surrounding integrity and leadership in Nigeria.
