  "account": "Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has dismissed the influence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), asserting that Wike was not his leader. This stance was revealed during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today. When asked directly if Wike was his leader in the party, Oyinlola firmly stated, “No, not my leader.
