Wike can never be my leader, he's my boy - Ex-Osun Gov Oyinlola

Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has firmly rejected the notion that Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, was ever his leader. Speaking during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today, Oyinlola emphasized that Wike is more akin to him as a "boy." Oyinlola clarified that when he held the gubernatorial position, Wike was still pursuing his education.

He reinforced that despite Wike's membership in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oyinlola firmly states that he will never consider the minister as his leader. Oyinlola's skepticism about Wike being the leader of the PDP stems from the fact that no one, including himself, has been invited to a "rainbow coalition." He questioned the meaning of the term "rainbow" in this context.

Oyinlola reiterated that being a PDP member doesn't make Wike his leader, asserting that he is simply his "boy." Oyinlola also pointed out that when he was governor, Wike was still in school, which further solidifies his position that Wike does not meet the criteria to be his leader. He underlined that age, experience, and political history do not elevate Wike above him within the PDP.

Oyinlola recounted his long-standing involvement in politics, emphasizing that he had already reached the top positions in the party and government before Wike gained prominence.
