Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has accused Arise Television’s TV host Reuben Abati of turning himself into a spokesman to Rotimi Amaechi.

Amaechi was a former Governor of Rivers State for eight years.

Olayinka spoke on Thursday while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

The statement comes after Abati had allegedly used unsavoury words to describe Wike while anchoring Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

Olayinka claimed that Abati and his wife allegedly visited Wike’s house to beg for a bailout when he had issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over money he got from Sambo Dasuki.

Dasuki was a former National Security Adviser, ONSA, to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said, “I was shocked to hear him turning himself to spokesperson of Rotimi Amaechi, and I want to also suggest that, since he’s now Amaechi’s spokesperson, he should excuse himself from Arise TV and go and do his job properly.

“He should not be using a platform provided by respected Nigerians to ventilate his anger, his frustration and his hatred for Wike, because it is obvious that he hates Wike, he said Wike is wicked, yeah, that Wike is rude.

“When he had issue with EFCC and he had to pay back the money, the money he got from Dasuki, money from Dasuki loot, he himself and his wife knew the road to Wike’s house, to go and beg for a bailout, which he obviously got, and Wike was not rude that time.

“He has always come to this station to present himself as a moral police, and he will not one day tell us that at one point in his life, he’s a politician, a member of PDP.”

‎ The African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Anambra State, John Chuma Nwosu, has outlined his vision for the state following the presentation of his certificate of return at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
‎
‎His remarks shed light on what he believes are the key priorities required to move Anambra forward. He stressed the importance of building on the state’s long-standing reputation for commerce, enterprise, and innovation.
‎
‎According to him, Anambra State has enough human and financial capacity to rise above challenges
‎
‎”Anambra as a state should be first amongst equals. We have the financial and human capital resources. We are an oil producing state. Historically, Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka, the so-called ONA-axis defaults naturally to commerce, industry and enterprise. We need to leverage on these core areas.”
‎
‎He emphasized that these areas already serve as natural centers for business, manufacturing, and trade and deserve better strategic management to grow further.
