Abuja floods: Wike’s aide slams Adeyanju, says flooding predates FCT minister

The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Lere Olayinka, has defended the FCT Administration against criticism over flooding in Abuja, stating that the problem predates the assumption of office of Minister Nyesom Wike. Olayinka accused lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju of politicising the incident by blaming Wike for the flooding, while noting that the FCT Administration was already taking steps to address the recurring problem.

The statement comes amid renewed public attention to flooding in Abuja following Saturday’s downpour, with the incident reigniting debate over drainage infrastructure, urban planning, waste disposal and flood management in the Federal Capital Territory.
