Fayose Criticizes Olayinka's Arrogance on Arise TV
Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, criticized Lere Olayinka, the spokesperson for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, following Olayinka's appearance on Arise Television. During the live interview on The Morning Show, Olayinka displayed what Fayose described as arrogance, particularly in his refusal to answer questions from anchor Rufai Oseni.
Olayinka stated he preferred to converse with "reasonable human beings" and rejected Oseni's inquiries, including one regarding former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu, and her inclusion in President Bola Tinubu's campaign council despite corruption allegations. Fayose likened Olayinka's behavior to that of Wike, suggesting that he was acting like his political principal.
He also made personal remarks about Olayinka's background, referring to him as a "shoe-shiner's son" and criticized his manner of speaking during the interview. This incident follows Fayose's previous comments on Wike's handling of issues in Abuja.
