Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public
Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory,
FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday, accused former presidential candidate, Reuben
Abati of hypocrisy.
Olayinka disclosed that Abati was once a governorship
running mate to a wanted drug lord.
In 2019, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun State had
picked Abati as running mate to its then governorship candidate, late Buruji
Kashamu.
Prior to his death, Kashamu was wanted by the United States,
US, government for drugs trafficking.
However, Olayinka berated Abati for portraying himself as a
moral police on national television.
Olayinka faulted Abati for describing Wike as rude,
following the Minister’s comment against former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi
Amaechi.
Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Olayinka said:
“Abati has always come to this station to present himself as a moral police to
postulate and he will not one day tell us that at a moment in his life, he was
a politician – a member of the PDP and was the party’s deputy governorship
candidate in Ogun State and was comfortable having his picture displayed with
somebody who was wanted by the American government for alleged drug
trafficking.
“He was comfortable on the podium with somebody wanted by
the American government for alleged drug trafficking.
“That is the person that will come here and pronounce with
his mouth that a former governor and Minister that he once ran to for help is a
rude person, he is a bully.”
