File: The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Lere Olayinka.
Lere Olayinka, media aide to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed claims that the minister acted treacherously by backing President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election.
Olayinka said Wike had never concealed his support for Tinubu, stressing that the minister had declared his position even before the Peoples Democratic Party presented its presidential candidate, Professor Sunday Oloruntuyi.
He spoke during an interview on Arise TV on Friday.
Reacting to a description of Wike as “treacherous,” Olayinka said the word was inappropriate because the minister had been open about his political position.
