Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has accused Arise Television’s TV host Reuben Abati of turning himself into a spokesman to Rotimi Amaechi.

Amaechi was a former Governor of Rivers State for eight years.

Olayinka spoke on Thursday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

The statement comes after Abati had allegedly used unsavoury words to describe Wike while anchoring Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

Olayinka claimed that Abati and his wife allegedly visited Wike’s house to beg for a bailout when he had issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over money he got from Sambo Dasuki.

Dasuki was a former National Security Adviser, ONSA, to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said, “I was shocked to hear him turning himself to spokesperson of Rotimi Amaechi, and I want to also suggest that, since he’s now Amaechi’s spokesperson, he should excuse himself from Arise TV and go and do his job properly.

“He should not be using a platform provided by respected Nigerians to ventilate his anger, his frustration and his hatred for Wike, because it is obvious that he hates Wike, he said Wike is wicked, yeah, that Wike is rude.

“When he had issue with EFCC and he had to pay back the money, the money he got from Dasuki, money from Dasuki loot, he himself and his wife knew the road to Wike’s house, to go and beg for a bailout, which he obviously got, and Wike was not rude that time.

“He has always come to this station to present himself as a moral police, and he will not one day tell us that at one point in his life, he’s a politician, a member of PDP.”

This issue is getting messier

Lol.. Lere Olayinka is a kryptonite of those political presenters at Arisetv. Soon when they hear his name as a guest on the show, they will run away.
To be honest, Wike had been of tremendous help to so many people just like Tinubu. We never knew that he had helped people like Gov Bala Muhammed, Ikenga Ugochinyere, Reuben Abati & the likes who are now turning against him. But of course, we knew about Fubara, Amaechi, Odili and the likes in Rivers State whom he had also helped in the past. However, the difference is that Tinubu , despite all the betrayal, never fought dirty in public. We can then agree that people are wired differently to react in different ways.


-Kiss the truth!

Interesting

Can you now see life. The Abati of this world begging Wike after sharing from looted money! No saint anywhere

Nothing be the thing.

Lol
So Wike turned Rivers Treasury to a bailout fund for every and anyone interested
Rivers have suffered sha
See how they are sharing people's money to settle different things
Imagine using loot to settle loot. And the settled loot will still be looted
Nigerian politicians will not die well

Wike hates backstabbers.

All I can say is Omo till I hear from Abati’s side of the story

But alhaji Wiked, the bailout was got from where?

Do you have any record of Obi doling out state funds to settle friends and cronies?

Lere dealt with Rufai and Abati in that video. For the first time, Rufai didn't know what to say.

But is it true Rufai studied Animal Science?

And nobody have ever helped Wike ABI?

In 2022, Peter Obi visited Wike TWICE. In June and in September.

In September, Obi went to Rivers state and ignored the Governorship candidate of LP. The woman was sick but Obi ignored her and went straight to Wike. The outcome of the meeting was Wike promising "logistical" for Peter Obi in the election.

Here are links to of Obi's visit to Wike.

Here is a link to the thread where Obidients were rejoicing.

Here is a link to Obidients reacting to Wike after Obi lost.

Show me where you or any Obidient asked of Wike's source of funds back then.

Did you ever see him betray those who helped him?

First of all, the question I asked was Obi doling out state funds to friends and cronies
Secondly, nothing in your crap points to Obi receiving money from Wike nor was there any discussion of funding. So can you kindly explain the point of your argument?

Obiedun:
Can you now see life. The Abati of this world begging Wike! No saint anywhere

I only pity people who believe one politician is a saint

They are all d same, if they did out shits obi have done underneath many of those calling him cleanest will cover their eyes in shame.

How can obi who was a 2 time governor n a vice to Atiku suddenly become a saint?

Someone who was part n parcel of PDP but he's suddenly a saint

It is not my fault that the import of my post flew over your head.

only u Ibos who need Ibo president badly believe obi is a saint.

Many shits have gone underground that many ain't just talking.


I pity many of u who believe one politician is better than the other


They know themselves n that's y they believe there's no permanent friend or permanent enemy

Imagine, many of u called obi an angel n called atiku evil n structure of criminality, but today your angel is seeking ways to team with structure of criminality

I don't get the purpose of your sermon though
I only asked a simple question
Do u APC clowns not also think Tinubu is the best thing to ever happen on this planet?
Why don't you preach to yourselves to stop preferring Jagaban over Atiku or Kwankwaso or is Tinubu not a politician like them?
You guys keep preaching all politicians are the same but still carry Tinubu a master looter in ways Obi can never be on your head

MrMcJay:

No. Your fault is in your inability to comprehend simple English
That's why you were writing offpoint and posting irrelevant links
Be guided

You suffer from selective understanding and general hypocrisy. That's why Wike was able to fool your Peter Obi.

I don't give a hoot about Wike, but don't deride ye man your Peter Obi ran to for help in 2022. Ran to him twice and even betrayed the LP candidate in exchange for his .

How does it make sense to you to link my supposed lack of understanding to Wike fooling Obi? Can you explain how my lack of understanding made Obi fall victim to Wike's deceit?
You keep writing offpoint and illogically
My point still stands that Wike turned Rivers Treasury to a piggybank. If you worship politicians based on the favour they show or refuse to show one another, then the joke is you cause you're largely irrelevant in how they choose to relate with themselves
You need to grow up

MrMcJay:

Amaechi,Odili and Mrs GEJ.

get d point n stop foaming in d mouth


My point is all politicians are all the same, they are all rogues.

We are just to pick the rogue that can deliver to us n have a past record of delivery.

So on that note, according to past record of governance

Rogue tinubu did better than rogue obi.

Good!! At least you're trying to appear logical
Now let's test your logic a bit

Since you agree that all politicians are rogues, why will anyone in his right mind now be defending and praising a rogue for doing the job you put them there to do moreso when they are performing poorly?

Since you say we choose the rogue that has the best record of delivery, I can easily point out to you that Akpabio delivered as governor of AKs far better than Tinubu could ever dream of.

So can you explain to me why you left Akpabio to pick Tinubu?

Lere Olayinka is an example of somebody the Yoruba people refer to as “a ri teni moo wi, a f’apaadi rabata bo ti e mole” which translates to
“somebody whose pastime is to accuse other people endlessly and covers his own misdeeds from the prying eyes of others.”

Some of the crimes committed by Lere Olayinka include theft, burglary,
libel, blackmail, examination misconduct, multiple and mind-boggling fraud, embezzlement of public funds, peddling falsehood, churning out hate speeches and sex scandals.

Lere Olayinka used to be a cobbler in Lagos where he stole his brother-in-law’s money and also confessed to sitting for an examination for his wife at the Nigeria Institute of Journalism, Ogba,Lagos.

Lere Olayinka’s claim to being a journalist is bogus and non-existent as he has no certificate or academic qualification to back such claim. He is an impersonator, period.

He was a dropout at the Nigeria Institute of Journalism, Ogba, Lagos where he failed to complete a diploma course and any certificate he is parading to back such claim is fake as such can only be procured from Oluwole, a Lagos Island neighbourbood notorious for producing fake documents.

Lere Olayinka attempted to remedy his academic deficiency at the Ado Ekiti Campus of the International Institute of Journalism but he wanted to use his former position in government to railroad the authorities to issue him a certificate without attending classes,
writing tests and examination a request that was rightly turned down as such certificates are not sold in the open market!

Lere Olayinka fled from Lagos only to land in Akure, the capital of Ondo State, where he committed some crimes while working with Mr. Tunde Alade, the publisher of the now rested CLASS Newspaper and a lawyer and human rights activist, Mr. Morakinyo Ogele including using his position to blackmail innocent people to extort money from them.

During this period, Lere Olayinka stole a printing plate that the production crew wanted to use to produce copies of CLASS Newspaper in a bid to corner all the proceeds from that production to the chagrin of Alade and Ogele.

It is also on record that Lere Olayinka during his Akure misadventure broke into the law chambers of Ogele located on Oyemekun Road, Akure and stole N250,000, a fact that is in public domain and verifiable by anyone who wishes to investigate same.

An impersonation case hanging on Lere Olayinka’s neck was his villainous bravado of posing as an elected lawmaker in the hallowed
chamber of Ekiti State House of Assembly in November 2014 during the screening and ratification of nominees for the positions of
commissioners and special advisers in the early days of the second tenure of Ayo Fayose.

You have shifted from Obi to Akpabio. Funny people. The only thing I see in your argument is hatred for Tinubu. You are not even confident of your Messiah, Obi.

when did akpabio contest for president against Tinubu?

just leave him

Since he prefers akpabio is a better option to Tinubu, he should tell me when they both contested for election as president or will I vote akpabio whose name isn't on d ballot?

Max24:

Are Obi and Tinubu the politicians that are rogues?
The initial premise is that ALL politicians are rogues?
Is Akpabio no longer a politician? Or is he an angel since you only rogues
