The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Lere Olayinka, has dismissed claims by activist and SaharaReporters publisher, Omoyele Sowore, that President Bola Tinubu and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike were plotting to assassinate him.
In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, Olayinka described Sowore’s allegations as “mind games” and a ploy to sustain his lifestyle, insisting that neither Tinubu nor Wike had any reason to target the activist.
“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,” Olayinka said.
The minister’s aide advised Sowore to concentrate on his ongoing criminal trial rather than making what he called “reckless allegations” against national leaders.
He also dismissed Sowore’s recent attacks on Wike as desperate tactics.
“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.
Olayinka stressed that Sowore’s claims of an assassination plot were unfounded, arguing that the activist was only being haunted by his own history of controversies.
According to him, Sowore’s attempt to “play the victim” was nothing more than “the last kick of a dying horse.”
