Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has responded to recent comments by Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, accusing him of making unfounded criticisms merely to attract media attention.
Obi had recently visited the LEA Primary School in Kubwa, Abuja, where he described the condition of the school as a “national disgrace” and said it reflected the country’s lack of commitment to education.
He specifically noted that classrooms lacked chairs and toilets.
Obi also stated that, during his time as governor of Anambra State, he visited all primary and secondary schools and left public funds for the state upon leaving office.
But in a statement, Olayinka accused Obi of constant criticism of government actions. He countered that the current FCT administration, under Wike, is renovating 73 schools across the six Area Councils, with 21 already completed.
