The media assistant to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has been under fire from Arise Television presenter Reuben Abati for kneeling in front of his boss.
While there is sycophancy in government, Olayinka went too far, according to Abati, who spoke on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday.
The best part of it was when our good friend came over and tried to serve the master by kneeling down. What’s all this?
“Look, while we were in government—and I can say this with authority because I was in administration—sycophancy was a custom both before and after, generally in Nigerian government.
President Jonathan would tell individuals to stand up while they were kneeling in front of him. I’m not a monarch, please. Avoid kneeling in front of me.
“I actually witnessed people crawling.” They act in this manner. However, Lere Olayinka will bow down and serve the master since he may have a deeper understanding of the game than some of us. To what end, though?
“There is a time limit to all of this for both Wike and his acolytes in the empire that he has created for himself,” he stated.
