Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has knocked Imo Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu, a House of Representatives member representing Ideato North and South Federal Constituency of Imo State.
Olayinka while reacting to the comment made by Ugochinyere on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Friday, where the lawmaker accused Wike and other G5 Governors, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, former governors Samuel Ortom (Benue), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), and Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), of plotting to destroy the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), labelling him a “political hushpuppi.”
In a strongly worded statement released on Saturday and made available to Naija News, Olayinka described Ugochinyere as one of the “aberrations” within the PDP that must be addressed.
He further advised the lawmaker to focus on his responsibilities in the National Assembly, adding that his constituents have repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with his performance.
Olayinka said; “This is one of the things you get when people who joined the PDP today are awarded the ticket of the party tomorrow morning. If not for the aberration in the PDP that produced a character like Ugochinyere, someone who only joined the party in 2022 won’t be the one to lecture us about who is loyal to the party and who’s not.
“If PDP had functioned properly, would a ‘Political hushpuppi’ like Ugochinyere have gotten the party’s ticket while still in another party?
“Even till today, as a PDP Rep member, Ugochinyere is still holding on to his Action Peoples Party (APP), using it to cash-out in Rivers State.

“Therefore, we on this side are not bothered because we understand why Ugochinyere must now mount the podium and accuse Wike of playing childish and kindergarten politics.
“He must satisfy those feeding him from the resources of Rivers State.”
