The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has told the Senator representing the FCT, Ireti Kingibe, to stop being shameless, stop immoral acts and pay attention to the welfare of her legislative aides, many of whom he said have left as a result of non-payment of their salary and entitlements for close to six months.
A statement by Olayinka said the FCT Minister will not be available to be used as a platform for what he claimed to be the Senator's dying political career.
The Abuja Senator had on a television program said that the Wike was out of touch with the needs of the people and that "it’s not just about development but that the minister's conduct is fuelling resentment among the FCT people."
In his reaction, the FCT Minister's Spokesperson said it was funny that Senator IKingibe, who treats her personal aides like slaves and has refused to pay them their wages, is the one talking about someone treating others with disregard.
"As at today, we know how many of Senator Ireti Kingibe's aides that have resigned owing to non-payment of their salary and immoral acts.
"We know one of her aides, who resigned because she allegedly had an immoral relationship with her boyfriend. We also know of strained her relationship with her third husband, Ambassador Gana Kingibe, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). But we will keep our gunpowder dry for now” Olayinka said.
"However, Senator Ireti Kingibe should tell the people of FCT what she did with an 'envelope of N3 billion' that was awarded to her last year and how many contracts for constituency projects she has sold for between 15 and 20 percent of the contract value.
"As for the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, he will not be distracted by someone like Senator Ireti Kingibe, who has no other credible identity to present herself with, except the name of someone he is no longer married to”. Wike's Aide added
Olayinka said Wike will continue to bring infrastructural developments to both the FCT city center and satellite towns.
He said last Friday, the commissioning of 16 projects to mark the second year of President Bola Tinubu’s administration was concluded, and by this time next year, more projects would have been commissioned.
