Lere Olayinka, a senior official in the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed a criticism made by an ADC chieftain, Ibrahim Modibbo. Modibbo had claimed that Wike's press conferences are a nuisance, suggesting that he should stay indoors during the 2027 general elections and refrain from harassing the electorate.
Olayinka responded on AIT's Democracy Today, stating that Modibbo's own presence is a nuisance. He argued that Wike's nuisance value had made him a local government chairman and governor twice. Olayinka pointed out that Wike had made two election predictions, one of which (predicting Atiku would win) did not come true.
Olayinka concluded by questioning the real value of Modibbo's nuisance, noting that he has not achieved any position of authority. He emphasized that Wike's nuisance value had been instrumental in his political successes, while Modibbo's has not.
