Former presidential assistant Babafemi Ojudu has come under fire from Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Adviser on Public Communications and Social Media to Minister Nyesom Wike of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for disparaging the minister.

In contrast to Ojudu, who tricked former President Olusegun Obasanjo into carrying out a coup that overthrew a democratically elected governor in Ekiti State, Olayinka said Wike was a more accomplished politician.

He responded to a statement attributed to Ojudu in which he described Wike as someone who “continues as though power is eternal, as if position it confers immortality.”

Ojudu, who served as former President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, has revealed how he planned to remove former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose from office.

He revealed that, with former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s help, he planned and wrote the script for Fayose’s impeachment.

However, Olayinka claimed that once his favored presidential candidate lost the 2022 All Progressives Congress primary, Ojudu lost political importance and the opportunity to stay in power.

In a statement he signed, Olayinka said: “Egbon Femi Ojudu is pained, no doubt, but shouldn’t he limit his frustration to his “I too know” mindset that made him calculated wrongly on the 2023 presidential election?

“By the way, is he now in the farm, cultivating cocoyam and ewedu vegetable as he promised in 2022?

“Funny that someone like Femi Ojudu, who led a Political Coup in Ekiti is now the one sermonising about power not being eternal. Didn’t he know that power was not eternal when he was leading the coup that plunged Ekiti State into a state of emergency?

“At what point did Egbon Ojudu, a political coupist become an advocate of politics of fairness? When he lost his chance to remain in power after his preferred Presidential candidate lost the APC primary election?

“Unlike Ojudu, Wike has proven to be a better and more successful politician. Wike is not like Egbon Femi Ojudu, whose only major political achievement is deceiving President Obasanjo to remove illegally, a democratically elected Governor of Ekiti State.”
