I’m Not Your Friend!” – Heated Exchange Erupts Between Igbokwe And Adeyanju Over Wike Incident

The altercation, which went viral on Tuesday, showed Wike accusing the officer of blocking his access to the property, sparking mixed reactions on social media. Some Nigerians defended the minister for asserting civil authority, while others sided with the military officer, claiming Wike’s approach was overly confrontational.
Reacting to the incident, Joe Igbokwe took to Facebook demanding disciplinary action against the naval officer. He questioned the chain of command behind the officer’s actions, saying:
“Who gave this soldier the audacity to block a serving minister? He should be dismissed immediately.”
However, Adeyanju fired back in a scathing Facebook post, accusing Igbokwe of chasing political favour:
“Dear Joe Igbokwe, appointment is finished already. Stop the hustling unless you want to replace this cameraman. Doing media aide in old age is actually crazy. Old data boys.”
The exchange quickly reignited political tension online, with social media users weighing in on both sides.
Igbokwe responded firmly, emphasizing his seniority and long-standing activism:
“Deji, you do not know me and I do not know you. The only thing I know about you is that you are an emergency activist. I have been a well-made man for over 30 years. I started activism at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in the ’80s—more than 40 years ago. Young man, I am not looking for anything from anybody. I am not your mate. Ignorance is a terrible disease.”
He further challenged Adeyanju to research his background, saying:
“Check my background, ask questions, seek information, go and read my five books and you will know me. A good product sells itself.”
The spat between Igbokwe and Adeyanju shows no sign of cooling down as the debate over Wike’s confrontation with the naval officer continues to dominate social media.
