Lere Olayinka Mocks Peter Obi Over Alleged Attempt To Take Pictures With U-17 World Cup-Winning Girls

Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has taken a swipe at former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, following reports that the Federal Government denied him access to Nigeria’s U-17 female football team after their World Cup triumph.

Olayinka, in a post on social media, mocked Obi while alleging that the former Anambra State governor would have used an opportunity to take photographs with the victorious players and their trophy for publicity.

He suggested that Obi would have hurried to share the pictures on social media and presented himself as having gone to the airport to welcome the team after learning that no senior Federal Government official was available to receive them.

“That’s how the Packaged Fraud would have taken pictures with the girls and the Trophy they won, rushed to Social Media to post the pictures and claim that he had to go to the airport to receive them when he heard that no top federal govt official was available to receive the girls,” Olayinka wrote.

He ended his post with the expression, “LIEnus,” in another apparent attempt to ridicule the former presidential candidate.

Olayinka’s comments add to the ongoing exchanges between supporters of the ruling APC and Obi, who has remained a prominent opposition figure ahead of the 2027 general election.

The allegation that Obi was denied access to the team, as well as Olayinka’s claims about what the former governor would have done, were not independently substantiated in the material accompanying the post.
