Mr. Lele Olinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, hits back at Mr. Imo Ugochinyele Ikeagwonu, Member of Parliament from Ideato North-South Federal Constituency in Imo. did. The country labeled him a “political hushpuppy.”
Mr. Olinka’s remarks follow Mr. Ugochinyere’s comments on Channel TV’s Politics Today on Friday, where the lawmaker said that Mr. Wike and other G5 governors, including Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and former Governor Samuel Ortom, Benue), Mr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu State) and Mr. Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia)). , for plotting to destroy the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a strongly worded statement released on Saturday and provided to Naija News, Mr Olayinka described Mr Ugochinyere as one of the “aberrations” within the PDP that must be dealt with.
He further advised the lawmaker to focus on his responsibilities in parliament, adding that his constituents have repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction with his performance.
Olinka said: “This is one of the things you get when people who joined the PDP today are given a ticket to the party tomorrow morning.If not for the anomalies in the PDP that have produced people like Ugochinyere, there will be no one in the party in 2022. No one who has just joined will lecture us about who is loyal to the party and who is not.
“If the PDP had functioned properly, would a ‘political hushpapi’ like Ugochinyere have remained in another party and gotten the ticket of the party? still retains the Action Peoples Party (APP) and is using it to cash in on Rivers State.
“Therefore, from our side, we understand why Ugochinyere has to come to the podium now and accuse Wike of playing childish kindergarten politics, so we are not bothered. He has to satisfy the people he is feeding from the resources of Rivers State.”
Mr. Olayinka said this while mocking Mr. Ugochinyele, who always has an organization to represent him in carrying out his political activities. “In any sane environment, such a person would have been arrested, tried and imprisoned for identity theft.
“When he arrived in the House of Commons without a title to continue his political muzzling, he gave himself the non-existent title of “Spokesperson of the Union of Opposition Members of the 10th Parliament,” and claimed it as such.” Appointed by the United Coalition of Political Parties (CUPP).
“But the question is, is CUPP a political party with members in the House of Commons? When and where was CUPP registered? Apart from the positions of Minority Leader, Deputy Minority Leader, Minority Whip, and Deputy Minority Whip, it also has opposition members in Parliament. Is there such a thing as a spokesperson?
“Mr. Ugotinyere was, as always, a political activist and knew that by assigning himself a position that did not exist he was violating the rules of the National Assembly, but he needed the title to continue his political activities. , has become a boom.
“Ugochinyere impersonated the spokesperson of opposition members in the House of Representatives to make cash, especially in Rivers State.If he does not use his former political party, APP, to raise funds, he will impersonate amorphous opposition members. They will use it to cut Rivers from within.”
