Wike’s Aide Mocks PDP Convention as ‘Dirty December in November’!
Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has ridiculed the ongoing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention in Ibadan, referring to it as “Dirty December in November.”
In a post on his verified social media account, Olayinka dismissed the gathering as lacking substance and direction, mocking the party’s internal wrangling and leadership crisis.
“Ibadan looking like December detty party already… PDP convention or club night?” he wrote sarcastically, accompanied by images from the event.
Key Details:
- The convention is meant to unify party stakeholders ahead of 2027, but Wike’s camp has remained distant amid rifts with the PDP national leadership.
- Olayinka’s post reflects the ongoing tension between pro-Wike factions and mainstream PDP structures.
- Several party bigwigs were noticeably absent from the event.
Why It Matters:
- The comment underscores deepening cracks within the PDP, especially between the Wike bloc and other factions.
- Public ridicule by key aides may further polarize party unity efforts.
- It also signals potential alignments ahead of future political realignments.
What to Watch:
- PDP’s response to the mockery and internal calls for disciplinary action.
- Wike’s next political moves amid speculation of a full shift to the APC.
- Impact of the mockery on public perception of PDP’s 2027 prospects.
