Lere Olayinka, a former attack dog of Ayodele Fayose was seen getting cozzy with his principal's political enemy, Governor Kayode Fayemi.
Lere Olayinka and Governor Kayode Fayemi
Lere Olayinka, a former Special Assistant to an ex-Ekiti State Governor on Public Communications and New Media was all smiles as he met with the present governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi.
It would be recalled that Lere and his principal, Ayodele Fayose belong to the Peoples Democratic Party which has constantly being at loggerheads with the All Progressives Congress which Fayemi belongs to.
Lere and Fayose have over the years sponsored social media and mainstream media tirades against Fayemi. It appears they are not really bitter rivals after all as Lere was pictured engaging in chit chats with the governor and his entourage.
After the pictures of their brief meeting emerged on social media, Lere defended himself with this informal response below:
'Imagine yourself in the same flight with two Next Lefu Govs...
Na so the thing take happen to me today on my way to Akure from Abuja.
Just like that, myself, Fayemi, his wife that is called Erelu Bam Bam, Aketi, Senator Adetumbi and retinue of Fayemi's Aides in the same flight!
It was Erelu Bam Bam that saw me and said; "Are we sure we are safe in this flight?"
I responded: "Eyin le nse Next Lefu to nowhere (You people are the ones doing Next Level to nowhere). Me I'm going to Ekiti and I'm safe."
On getting to Akure, I was waiting for my luggage when Fayemi and his wife came and I greeted them.
Then Erelu fired the first shot again; "Lere you better come and join us, we will accommodate you."
Today was the second time she will say that. The first time was when she came to the government house for inspection few days to the handing over of power by Osokomole Ekun Oke.
Before I could respond; Fayemi said; "You don't know Lere, he started this journey with us then. 'Owo mi yi lo bi omo e si' (I was aware when he had his child then).
Fayemi and his wife left to join their NEXT LEFU to nowhere while I waited for my luggage.
These pictures represent what happened and like I told Fayemi's wife then, I'm in PDP, I'm with Osokomole, Ayodele Omo Fayose, I can't work with APC.
However, politics apart, I'm an Ekiti man, I see all Ekitis as my brothers and sisters. I only hope our friends in the APC have the same mindset'
