Lere Olayinka, the special adviser to the former governor of Rivers State and FCT minister, Nyesom Wike has slammed those who criticized Edo State governor Monday Okpebholo for his actions towards Peter Obi and compared it to Bayelsa State governor’s comments directed towards his principal, Nyesom Wike. According to the statements which were shared on his official X handle, he disclosed that Peter Obi was being given preferential treatment.
Renowned human rights lawyer and staunch supporters of former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi has come under intense verbal confrontations from Lere Olayinka, the special adviser on media to FCT minister Nyesom Wike.
This was a follow up to the public backlash following the directives of Edo State governor Monday Okpebholo requesting the erstwhile Labour Party presidential aspirant to obtain official permission before visiting his state.
According to the statements which were shared on his official X handle, Lere Olayinka lamented that Peter Obi was being given preferential treatment, and accused Femi Falana of leading the charge.
In his statements, he pointed out that when Bayelsa State governor Douye Diri announced that Nyesom Wike was barred from coming to the state, no noise was made and everyone was happy.
However, according to Lere Olayinka, Governor Monday Okpebholo’s remarks on Peter Obi drew public attention and condemnation because he was not Nyesom Wike.
“When Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, announced that he barred the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike from coming to Bayelsa State, they didn’t make noise then. No noise because it was about Wike…..” He wrote.
