Wike’s Aide Breaks Silence on Minister’s Alleged Death Rumour, Obituary Photo

Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has responded to an alleged obituary photo of his principal circulating on social media.

Rumours claiming that Wike collapsed at an event in Abuja on Friday flooded social media, with some users even alleging that he had passed away.

To counter these claims, Wike made a public appearance on Sunday when he led FCT community leaders on a Sallah homage to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the State House.

In response, Olayinka took to his official X handle to accuse Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo of being involved in spreading the false report. He alleged that Dokubo was paid to fabricate the story.

He said, “But normal normal, Fubara suppose collect his money from this Hilda Dokubo. After collecting millions of naira from Opobo Judas of Rivers to stage Wike’s obituary pictures and do some RITUALS, they cooked up that story of Wike collapsing and being in a coma so that Fubara will be happy that they have delivered.”

Wike, who is currently in a political conflict with Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has been accused of fueling the crisis in the state to maintain control over its affairs.

  1. How on Earth this someone wishes death to his or her fellow people because of political disagreement or because of different choice of candidate? We can do better.May Honorable minister wike year be longer to fullfil God’s purposes for his life in Jesus Mighty Name . Nigeria will be greater than yesterday.God bless Nigeria and Nigerians

  2. All this are political gimmick to make Wike as a super natural leader and more popular. This is a gimmick to sway people attention from his contribution in the crisis in River State.

  3. Olayinka disappointed me. How can he condescend so low to join the trail of the comedians! Has he become a blogger too or where did he got information that the blogger was paid to spread false rumours. I thought he will ask his principal to sue the blogger

  4. Did you listen to yourself? You don’t look at issues analytically before jumping into conclusions.
    Pls explain to the public what Wike contributions are in the Rivers crisis? Be objective.

  5. It’s unfair to wish your fellow human being dead. It’s ungodly and sinful. Even if he is sick, nobody above that.
