The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to Nyesom Wike, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Lere Olayinka, says his principal has no time for those he described as ‘professional scammers and hustlers masquerading as activists’.
Olayinka, in a statement on Saturday, said most of those jumping from one social media platform to another to speak against the FCT minister were doing so because he ignored them and is making the “Yahoo Yahoo” antics through which they have sustained themselves to fail.
He said the style of the hustlers masquerading as activists has always been the same, adding that they would threaten and blackmail by making noise in the media or by organizing protests.
“They are the same people who would arrange for someone to approach you so that the ‘activists’ can be reached and that they can help.
“The moment you agree, they will come back with bills that you must pay, and once you pay, they move on to another target, in most cases, public office holders.
“There are some whose area of core competence is to organize press conferences for or against and get paid.
“Unfortunately for these hustler activists, Wike does not play that kind of game, and that’s the reason they are frustrated,” he said.
