Lere Olayinka Fires Back At Reuben Abati After Faulting Him On Kneeling Down To Serve Wike

Lere Olayinka, media aide to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, has fired back at Arise TV host Reuben Abati, questioning why he would kneel to serve his “master” in response to Abati’s comments.

During Arise TV’s Morning Show on Tuesday, Abati criticized Lere, likening his service to Wike to the alleged sycophancy displayed by some appointees of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said, “The high point of it was when our good friend, Lere Olayinka, knelt down trying to serve his master. What is all this?

“Look, when we were in government, sycophancy was the tradition then, before and after, generally in the Nigerian government. When people knelt down before President Jonathan, he would tell them to stand up.

“In fact, I saw people crawling. This is how they behave. But Lere Olayinka understands the game more than some of us, so he will kneel down and serve the master. There is a time limit to all of this.”
