Former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, has taken a swipe at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, declaring that his political influence has come to an end.
In a post shared on X on Sunday, the 4th of January, 2026, Onochie alleged that President Bola Tinubu and Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, have sidelined the FCT minister while empowering Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
She further asserted that Fubara would secure a second term in office and even recommend a replacement for the minister before the end of 2026.
According to Onochie, the political tide has shifted irreversibly against the former Rivers State governor.
She wrote: “You have been buried politically already.
“Not only have @officialABAT and @Hope_Uzodimma1 thrown you under the bus, the keys of the bus were handed over to @SimFubaraKSC.

“How he drives the bus, depends on how much of your pride you can swallow.
“Now, let me break it down for you: “Fubara may get back the six months you and Pres Tinubu stole from him.
“Then Fubara will get a second term.
“Fubara will nominate your replacement before the end of 2026.
“Fubara is your new Godfather.”
