Lere Olayinka: Tambuwal will not get away with ‘verbal attack’ on Wike, Tinubu
Lere Olayinka, senior special assistant on public communications and social media to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), said Aminu Tambuwal, former Sokoto state governor, would not get away with his latest “verbal attack”.
Olayinka said the minister would issue a pointed response to remarks made by Tambuwal on Channels Television’s Politics Today, describing them as an attack not only on Wike but also on President Bola Tinubu.
“I have been inundated with calls, especially from journalists, seeking the Minister’s reaction.
“Apart from what he said against the Minister, Tambuwal also cast aspersions on President Tinubu and such will not go unresponded to.
“Therefore, what I can say is that the Minister will respond accordingly. He will definitely tell Nigerians what a betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.
“Till then, let’s keep our fingers crossed,” Olayinka said.
Tambuwal had said his political choices were driven by principle rather than friendship, adding that he would stand with former vice-president Atiku Abubakar over Wike if forced to choose.
