Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory FCT, Lere Olayinka, has asked the House of Representatives member from Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State, Imo Ugochinyere, to look for another political ATM since he has lost his Rivers State-made feeding bottle.
Ugochinyere had, at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja, accused the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, of ordering his loyalists in the Rivers State House of Assembly to destabilise the state.
However, Olayinka said the lawmaker “was only crying over lost alawee (pocket money) from Rivers State, counseling him to “cry less, but rather look for another victim to turn into a political ATM.”
Olayinka said in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday that “as a political Hushpuppi that he is, it is normal for Ugochinyere to cry over the dismantling of fraudulent local government structures that he used his party, Action Peoples Party (APP), to produce in Rivers State, and this has come to an end. He must cry.”
The FCT Minister’s spokesperson, who was also responding to comments made by Ugochinyere during a live television programme on Wednesday, admonished him to stop lying to the public about a non-existing opposition group in the National Assembly, saying, “That political Hushpuppi should tell Nigerians the House of Representatives members that are part of his Yahoo Yahoo Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP).
“Ugochinyere once said the Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Martins Amaewhule, won’t ever see the Rivers State Budget. He was everywhere, boasting that the Assembly members were gone and nothing in this life would bring them back.
“But today, as Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, who is the victim of Ugochinyere’s Yahoo Yahoo politics, is already seeing spirits, the reality of the end of free flow of Alawee is dawning on him, reason he was on live television, shouting like a wounded goat,” Olayinka said.
While insisting that Governor Fubara was not ready for peace and governance in accordance with the laws, Olayinka asked when a governor started going to the House of Assembly uninvited.
He said, “The governor is only playing to the gallery and creating content for social media. If not, shouldn’t he know that the proper thing to do was for him to have written to the Speaker and waited for a response as to when to come for the budget presentation?
“Of course, the governor should know. But the moment you have a man like Ugochinyere, who is not ashamed of doing anything as your main adviser, you can even carry a budget on your head to Rumuokoro Market to go and give to the Speaker’s wife.”
