‘Sycophancy Taken Too Far’ – Abati Slams Lere Olayinka For Kneeling For Wike

Arise Television anchor Reuben Abati has lashed out at Lere Olayinka, the media aide to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, for kneeling before his boss.

Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Tuesday, Abati said that while sycophancy exists in government, Olayinka took it too far.

“Think of the very high point of it: when our good friend came and knelt down trying to serve the master. What is all this?

“Look, when we were in government and I say this authoritatively, I was in government, sycophancy was a tradition there, before and after, generally in Nigerian government.

“When people would kneel before President Jonathan, he would tell them, ‘Stand up. Please, I’m not a monarch. Don’t kneel before me.’

“In fact, I saw people crawling. This is how they behave. But Lere Olayinka maybe understands the game better than some of us, so he will kneel down and serve the master. But to what end?

“So, for both Wike and his acolytes in the empire that he has created for himself, there is a time limit to all of this,” he said.

Racoon:
The level of sycophancy and asslicking Fayose and Lere Olayinka have exhibited with Wike is foolishly legendary

Ttalk:
This shouldn't be coming a person who sees MNK as god

Lanretoye:
sychopancy in the west is respect in the east bro,see that one you quoted ehn…bigotry Dey learn work for where he dey

Ofunaofu:
Olayinka is a mæd man sycophantically kneeling before a notorious drûñkàrd.

ogmask:
That Lere guy is so fake. The day wike stops giving him money he will turn canary for his new master. Fayose gave him to wike for one purpose only: attack like a rabid dog. His level of sycophancy and asslicking is on another level. Characters like Lere can bring reproach and bad mouth to his people.

Racoon:
Perhaps I would rather doff my hat for Nnamdi Kanu who may be within my age bracket than be an old man of Fayose and Lere Olayinka age stooging for Wike who is like a son to them.

It is the same sycophancy that made baba agbalagbas to be worshipping a thug like MC Oluomo in Lagos parks and garages.

SisterAnn:
You are guilty, so guilty of what you accuse others.

Malami, son and wife, we know where they are now.

When things turn, it's surely going to be Wike, lere and Fayose.

helinues:
Lere should have slapped Wike instead. Poor him

When you Abati went to Aso rock to have interview with president Tinubu, one would have expected you to gave him a dirty slap considering the way you always talk about him on air before the interview

If e reach your turn, give your benefactor a dirty slap

Ttalk:
Stay on the topic and stop blabbing

SisterAnn:
If my post was off topic and blabbing to you, that's evidence of message sent and acknowledged.

Ttalk:
You guys should mind your business.

You cover your shame but laughing at other people.

Wike is a Minister, he deserves respect whether you call it sychophancy or whatever, that's your problem. You should rather speak on reason why you and your brothers were leaking MNK feet

Ttalk:
Brother Ann, I no get your time this morning. Happy new year in advance
