Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Saturday alleged that activist and politician Omoyele Sowore is being “haunted by the consequences of his scams.
Olayinka described Sowore’s recent claim, that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Wike were plotting to assassinate him, as a “mind game” aimed at sustaining what he called Sowore’s fraudulent lifestyle.
He urged Sowore to focus on his ongoing criminal trial and to present evidence of President Tinubu’s alleged conviction, rather than resorting to accusations.
In a statement, Olayinka accused the Sahara Reporters publisher of corruption, including selling the African Action Congress (AAC) governorship ticket in Rivers State for $3 million and diverting an EndSARS grant.VIDEO: Pastor’s Daughter’s Viral S*x Tape Leaves Internet in Shock, Watch!
He argued that any threats to Sowore’s life likely came from individuals he had allegedly scammed or blackmailed, not from President Tinubu or the FCT Minister. According to him, Sowore’s actions were signs of desperation in the face of serious charges.
Olayinka also dismissed allegations that Wike acquired properties in the United States, insisting that such claims were irrelevant to the corruption and falsehood charges Sowore is facing.
The statement partly read:
“He is notorious for using Sahara Reporters as a tool for blackmail and extortion, while leaving his staff in poverty. If there is any real threat to his life, it is from those he has scammed or blackmailed—not from President Tinubu or the FCT Minister.
“All the noise he has been making about Wike in the last 48 hours is nothing but the last kick of a dying horse. He is fully aware of the consequences of the charges before him.Story of Shina Rambo: The Notorious Armed Robber Who Terrorized Nigeria in the 1990s
“He talks about Wike purchasing properties in the United States. Did the Minister deny that his wife owns properties there? Is it a crime to acquire property in the US through purchase or inheritance?
“Is that his defense for collecting millions of dollars from foreign donors under false pretenses? Join our telegram channel for more updates
