Wike has no time for ‘political hushpuppies’ — Aide

Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, Nyesom Wike, is too focused and busy to have time for “political hushpuppies”, according to his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.

Olayinka said Wike is focused on development unlike the House of Representatives member from Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State, Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu, “who is always on retainership with whoever is ready to pay his bills.”

He was reacting to an alarm raised by the Action Peoples Party (APP) and Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), alleging that the FCT Minister and security agencies were plotting to arrest Ugochinyere, saying: “If Ugochinyere has collected Alawee from anyone and he did not deliver on his assignment, he should go and settle with the person.”

The FCT Minister’s Spokesperson, who described the CUPP as an unknown and illegal entity, said those operating under the platform should look for something better and dignifying to do.

He said the sole purpose for which CUPP was set up in 2018 was to galvanize support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election and nothing more.

In a statement on Friday, Olayinka said; “After the 2019 presidential election, CUPP and its purpose ended. But as usual, Ugochinyere kept using it to chop and eventually used the platform to negotiate his way to the House of Representatives where he is now impersonating as spokesperson of a non-existing group of opposition lawmakers.

“Apart from the non-existing CUPP, Ugochinyere is also using his real political party, the APP to collect Alawee from a certain man who is swimming in the Rivers of betrayal, and one never can tell who he has played his usual game of obtaining with this time around.

“Therefore, if there are allegations of judicial corruption, treason, bribery of judicial officers and forgery against him as being said by his cohorts in APP and non-existing CUPP, he should rather do a thorough search of his mind to ascertain which of his political mugus or magas are angry with him this time.

“As for Wike, he is too busy with the business of developing the FCT as mandated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He has no time to give attention to attention-seeking individuals like Ugochinyere who is constantly looking for the next source of alawee.”
