Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has described Nigeria’s opposition as a group of “confused confusionists”.
Olayinka was reacting to claims by supporters of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, that the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is working for President Bola Tinubu.
He also reacted to claims by NDC supporters that the ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is working for Tinubu because of their longstanding friendship.
In a post on X, Olayinka wrote: “#ADC People: Peter Obi is working for President Tinubu. He wants to divide opposition votes so as to ensure President Tinubu’s reelection.
“#NDC People: Atiku is working for President Tinubu. In fact, both of them have been friends for many years. Atiku refused to step down for Peter Obi so as to divide opposition votes and ensure President Tinubu’s reelection.
“#ME: Opposition of confused confusionists.”
