North might not help Atiku in 2031 – Wike's aide Olayinka

The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has stated the North may not help the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in 2031.

In an interview with AIT, Olayinka charged Nigerians to not be misguided about Northern supporters backing Atiku.

According to Olayinka: “Let us stop misguiding ourselves about the North, are you telling me that those aiming to be President in 2031 will support Atiku?

“People who need to be President, serving governors now who imagine that within the subsequent 4 years the presidency will come to the North and I can provide it a strive, so they’d need Atiku to strive in order that they may await eight years of Atiku and the presidency will come again to the South? They will now await 16 years? They won’t.”

Olayinka further claimed Nigerians across different political parties are supporting President Bola Tinubu for a second term.

According to him, the FCT minister is not the only politician supporting Tinubu.

“Most folks in different events like APGA, Accord, even the APM that has a candidate have stated they’re supporting the President. So, it isn’t simply Wike however I perceive as a result of Wike is a reputation and a phenomenon and folks should speak about him, however different individuals are doing the identical factor that he’s doing.

“Our collective goal is the second tenure of President Tinubu,” Olayinka stated.
