Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has debunked allegations of anti-party activities leveled against the Minister by some members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
DAILY POST reports that Wike’s alleged romance with the All Progressives Congress, APC, since his recruitment into President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet has been raising concerns amongst some PDP members.
On different occasions, some stakeholders of the main opposition party had accused APC of fueling the leadership crisis rocking the main opposition party.
Recall that Segun Sowunmi, a PDP chieftain and former spokesman of the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar in November 2024 claimed that President Tinubu was responsible for PDP’s internal wranglings.
According to Sowunmi, Tinubu has no business appointing Wike as Minister of FCT, without consulting with the elders of the party.
“When Obasanjo wanted to form a government of national unity, he wrote to the elders of the party but what did Tinubu do, he took one of us and put him in a strategic position and suddenly the whole thing is complicated.
