Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has criticised Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over his recent exchange with Arise TV presenter Rufai Oseni.
Fayose accused Olayinka of becoming overly confrontational in his response to Rufai, arguing that his political experience and access to power had influenced the way he addressed the broadcaster.
He made the remarks in a social media post while reacting to the public disagreement between Olayinka and Rufai.
Olayinka had criticised Rufai over his qualifications and role as a television presenter, questioning his academic background and suitability to comment on certain issues.
Rufai responded to the criticism, leading to further exchanges between both men on social media.
Fayose subsequently weighed into the dispute, accusing Olayinka of speaking recklessly because he had “tasted power.”
He also referenced his family’s political experience, saying Olayinka should be more measured in his public statements.
The exchange has generated reactions on social media, with supporters of both sides defending their positions.
