2027: ‘He’s injured Atiku, Obi too much’ — Lere Olayinka defends Wike’s ‘payback’ fear

Lere Olayinka, a media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, defended Wike's concerns about potential political retaliation if either Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi wins the 2027 presidential election. Wike stated he could be a target due to his support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election. Olayinka emphasized that Wike is aware of the political consequences of his actions and alliances, particularly due to his strained relationship with Atiku since the 2023 presidential election.
