Wike's Aide Critiques Peter Obi's Wife's Luxury Bag
A video showing Peter Obi's wife with a luxury Hermès bag, reportedly valued at over N250 million, has ignited controversy online. Lere Olayinka, an aide to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, reacted to the footage on Instagram on Saturday, 13 September 2026, questioning Obi's public persona as a frugal leader.
Olayinka highlighted the bag's price, which he stated was £131,938.81, to challenge Obi's carefully crafted image. His post garnered significant attention, leading to thousands of comments from both supporters and critics.
Many social media users defended Obi, asserting that his wealth, accumulated prior to his political career, allows for such expenditures without reliance on public funds. The discourse reflects ongoing tensions in the political landscape as Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections.
