The media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has slammed a certain Ibadan politician after the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, made a remark about vagabonds expelled from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Naijaonpoint reports that Makinde made the declaration on Tuesday during the unveiling of the Oyo State PDP Secretariat in Ibadan, the state capital.
Explaining recent developments within the party, the Governor invoked a Yoruba proverb to describe the internal crisis that had long plagued the PDP.
“In Yoruba land, we always say that if you see a house or a compound that is peaceful, the vagabond in that house has not grown up,” Makinde said.
He traced the group’s emergence to the period after the PDP lost power at the federal level in 2015, which he said created a leadership vacuum.
However, Lere Olayinka, in a post on his official Facebook page, described the unnamed Ibadan politicians as political vagabonds always ready to sacrifice anything, including friendship.
Olayinka also recalled the various defections of the poltician in the bid to get a party’s ticket.
He wrote, “There is this political vagabond in Ibadan. He is only loyal to his personal political interests and he his always ready to sacrifice anything, including friendship.
“In 2007 when he sought PDP ticket to contest for Senate and he couldn’t get it, he went to ANPP.
“In 2015 when he sought PDP ticket to contest for Governor and he couldn’t get it, he went to SDP.
“Now that this vagabond has been expelled from the PDP, and his Ibadan Amala Kanifa is nullified b y the court, where will he go next?”
