Lere Olayinka, who serves as the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has responded to activist and politician Aisha Yesufu after her verbal exchange with his boss.
Olayinka asserted that Wike has surpassed the point where he would utter Yesufu’s name on live television, implying she is beneath his notice.
The conflict began when Wike mocked Yesufu in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for failing to secure the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial ticket for the FCT.
In response, Yesufu dared the Minister to never mention her name again.
Olayinka countered on Facebook, telling Yesufu she should focus on cleaning up her own image before challenging the Minister. He wrote: “Those who know Aisha Yesufu should inform her that the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has moved beyond mentioning the names of dirty and smelly people on live television. She needs to clean herself up first. DAZZOL!”
