Lere Olayinka, the media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has shared a throwback video featuring Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, kneeling before Wike.

The video was recorded in 2023 when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the governor as the winner of the state governorship election.

Lere seemingly posted the video on his Facebook page to defend his recent actions that sparked criticism.

It is worth noting that the crew from the Arise TV Morning Show criticized the FCT Minister’s media aide after he knelt down to serve his superior during an event.

One of the show hosts, Reuben, expressed his disapproval.

In sharing Fubara’s throwback video, Lere stated, “I am certain that Oga Reuben Abati, EX-CONVICT Rufai Oseni, and that Online Baseless Lawyer didn’t come across this video back then.”
