A former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has mocked the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), claiming he has been “buried politically”.
In a post on X yesterday, Onochie claimed President Bola Tinubu and Governor Hope Uzodimma have thrown Wike under the Bus and handed the keys to Governor Siminilayi Fubara.
She also insisted that Fubara will win a second term and nominate Wike’s replacement before 2026 ends.
Onochie tweeted: “You have been buried politically already. Not only have @officialABAT and @Hope_Uzodimma1 thrown you under the bus, the keys of the bus were handed over to @SimFubaraKSC.
“How he drives the Bus, depends on how much of your pride you can swallow. Now, let me break it down for you:
“Fubara may get back the six months you and Pres Tinubu stole from him.
“Then Fubara will get a second term. Fubara will nominate your replacement before the end of 2026. Fubara is your new Godfather.”Yilwatda made this statement on Saturday shortly after he was conferred with the traditional title of “Kaeh-rit” (meaning “the good seed of Ampang East”) in Plateau State.
According to him, Tinubu is the best person to learn from.
“I’m learning from the best leader, Asiwaju Tinubu. Mr President is one of the best politicians you can learn from, and since adopting me as his son, I’ve learned so much from him.
“He is teaching me, and so I’m learning. If you see me succeeding, it’s because I’m learning from the very best politician ever produced in Nigeria. So why not? I will work towards achieving what he has done also, being one of the best politicians in Nigeria,” Yilwatda said.
