Lere Olayinka, a spokesperson for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, on Friday declined to respond to questions from Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni during a live television programme.

Olayinka appeared on The Morning Show but objected to engaging directly with Oseni, saying he preferred to have a conversation with people he considered reasonable.

The disagreement reportedly arose after Olayinka took exception to Oseni’s alleged use of the term “emudani” in describing some individuals.

During the programme, Oseni asked Olayinka to explain why former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu, who has faced corruption allegations, was included in the presidential campaign council.

Rather than respond to the question, Olayinka turned his attention to Oseni and said he would not answer questions from him.
