Media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has attacked Rivers State’s Governor Siminalayi Fubara over recent remarks.
Governor Fubara had, on Thursday, expressed his frustration with alleged provocations from Wike’s camp.
Speaking after signing Rivers State’s 2025 budget of N1.1 trillion at the Government House in Port Harcourt, Fubara declared he would no longer tolerate insults directed at him.
Reacting to the Governor’s statement, Olayinka, in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, dismissed Fubara’s complaints as premature, suggesting that the Governor had yet to experience the full weight of criticism.
Olayinka accused Fubara of orchestrating attacks against Wike by allegedly funding online campaigns to tarnish the minister’s image.
Lere wrote: “From the Judas of Opobo, who has been paying hundreds of people to attack Wike on social media since 2023 ooo. Just one month, he don dey lament. Insults wey you neva start to dey see self. Nonsensical nonsense.”
The rift between Fubara and Wike, once seen as political allies, has become a public spectacle, raising concerns about its impact on the state’s administration.
