Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public
Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday faulted former presidential spokesman
Reuben Abati for saying the Minister is very rude.
Abati claimed that Wike was very rude, stressing that former
Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi was his boss in politics.
The Arise Television anchor was reacting to Wike’s remark
that Amaechi was hungry for power and could not deliver 10 percent of the vote
for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 presidential election.
Abati said: “Wike is very rude and disrespectful because
Amaechi is his boss in politics. When he was local government chairman during
Amaechi’s second term, it was Amaechi who helped him to become LGA Chairman and
subsequently became Chief of Staff and recommended him to become Minister of
State for Education in Abuja.”
Responding, Olayinka wondered how Amaechi became Wike’s boss
in politics.
Posting on Facebook, Olayinka recalled how Wike stayed back
in Rivers State to help Amaechi retrieve his mandate after he ran to Ghana in
2007.
According to Olayinka: “I listened to Egbon @abati1990 on
Arise News this morning, saying the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, is very rude and
disrespectful because Rotimi Amaechi is his boss in politics.
“If we talk now, they will say we don’t respect elders. The
same Reuben Abati, who was comfortable being on campaign podium as running mate
to a fugitive who was wanted in America, will be forming Moral Police inside
Arise TV studio.
“Reuben Abati, a POLITICIAN who has a clear political
affiliation, will be forming objectivity, just like @ruffydfire, a supporter of
Labour Party.
“So how is Rotimi Amaechi Wike’s boss in politics? When
Amaechi was a House of Assembly member, Wike was a Local Government Chairman.
“When Amaechi ran to Ghana in 2007, Wike was in Nigeria,
leading the charge to retrieve Amaechi’s mandate. But I will still not talk.”
