The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has mocked the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, over interference in Rivers State politics.
Naijaonpoint reports that Wike and Basiru have been in a war of words over a warning to stay away from Rivers State politics.
In a post on his Facebook page, Olayinka said Basiru, who failed to secure the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket in Osun State, wants to wade into the political tussle in Rivers State.
According to Olayinka, Wike’s influence will secure more votes for President Bola Tinubu in Osun State than Basiru.
He said, “Someone that wanted an APC Governorship ticket, but couldn’t get it.
“Na him wan come another State come help another person.
“In Osun State, Wike’s influence will still give President Tinubu more votes than Ajibola Basiru.
“Wike’s message to Ajibola Basiru is simple.
“Dey your dey, make I dey my dey. No dey do cho cho cho come Rivers. Make he no carry his shoulder enter another man’s territory.
“Politics is local, it is grassroots based.
“In 2023, as a serving Senator and Spokesperson of the Senate, Ajibola Basiru lost his re-election bid.
“You wey no fit win your own election as a serving senator and Senate Spokesperson, na you go come Rivers come help person?
“But make Mr Ajibola Basiru use that shoulder wey him dey carry up and down to bring all parties in Osun State together for President Tinubu, the way Wike has done in Rivers State first.”
