Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication to Nyesom Wike, has stated that the Minister’s involvement in Rivers State politics has not in any way hindered his duties in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
In an interview with TVC, Olayinka emphasized that Wike, as a politician, must remain actively engaged in politics to maintain relevance.
He rubbished speculations that Wike’s political activities in Rivers State have distracted him from his ministerial responsibilities. 
According to Olayinka, Wike possesses remarkable energy and multitasking abilities, ensuring that his work in the FCT remains unaffected. He highlighted that the minister’s performance is evident on the streets of Abuja, where residents can attest to his efforts in governance.
Olayinka also noted that while no leader can solve all problems, Wike’s contributions to the FCT are undeniable, and his political engagements should not be viewed as a distraction.
