Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the FCT Minister, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has declared that there is no time to dignify any committee of opportunistic political contractors in Rivers State.
He alleged the opportunistic political contractors are busy withdrawing from the Rivers’ ATM of betrayal that they never wanted in the first place.
This assertion came in the wake of a demand of apology from Wike by Concerned Elders of Rivers State, who had strongly condemned the recent comments made by the Wike against former Governor Peter Odili and his family.
Recall that Wike, had recently disclosed during a church service how he had brought elder statesman Odili “out of political oblivion.” This, the elders described Wike’s remarks as disrespectful and unbecoming of a leader.
He also referred to Odili as ‘General Overseer” following the appointments of Odili’s wife, Justice Mary Odili (retd.), and their daughter, Dr. Adaeze Oreh, into positions in the state government under Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
However, Wike’s media aide in a state made available to newsmen said: “For now, the Minister is busy celebrating the new year with those who matter in Rivers State.
“At the appropriate time, the message will be made very clear to them and their ATM. For now that the alawee is still flowing, they should enjoy it.”
