Lere Olayinka, aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has slammed activist and lawyer Dele Farotimi over his remarks on his principal. Olayinka referred to Farotimi as a “human rice and beans activist” and said he no longer speaks with logic.
This reaction followed Farotimi’s criticism of Wike on social media, where he used harsh terms to describe the former Rivers State governor.
His comments appeared to be in response to the ongoing war of words between Wike and Rotimi Amaechi, his predecessor as governor and former Minister of Transportation.
Farotimi posted on X: “Nyesom Wike: poster boy of the Nigerian ruining crass. Cacophonous, parasitic, narcissistic, Lilliputian, gluttonous, myopic, and completely untouched by any desire for immortality.”

In response, Olayinka questioned Farotimi’s stance, wondering why he would go after someone who established a law school while defending someone who allegedly didn’t build any school during his entire tenure.
He wrote on X: “When as a lawyer and human rice and beans activist like @DeleFarotimi, you have lost your sense of rational reasoning, you will be supporting, promoting and defending a man who built no single school throughout his 8 years as governor, but attacking another man who built the law school that many of the law graduates that will be called to bar this week attended.”
