You Abandoned Jonathan For Fame!” – Wike’s Aide Slams Reuben Abati For ‘Big Man’ Lifestyle While Ex-President Was Under Fire

In this game, when someone throws a pebble at you, you respond with a boulder. This isn’t a gentleman’s game—it’s gbas gbos. Insults and abuse are part of the package.
One key reason Jonathan’s government was so easily demonised was because of his WEAK MEDIA, led by the boastful and arrogant @abati1990.
Reuben Abati was more concerned with wealth and status while President Jonathan was being torn apart in the media. He failed as the president’s media adviser.”

Meanwhile, Reuben Abati recently took aim at Nyesom Wike for holding a church thanksgiving service to mark completed projects in Abuja.

The event, held at St. James Anglican Church in Asokoro on Sunday, July 6, was, according to Abati, more about self-glorification than genuine gratitude.

Abati criticised the move, arguing that it blurred the lines between public office and personal glorification, and even violated the constitutional principle of religious neutrality.

“A Minister of the Federal Capital Territory holds a Thanksgiving after launching projects, with the president in attendance—and then turns it into a platform for self-adulation.
That’s not governance; it’s childish showmanship,” he said.

“Section 10 of the Nigerian Constitution says there shall be no state religion. So, using the entire FCT machinery for a religious ceremony tied to official duties is inappropriate.
Churches like St. James should be careful; they must ensure government officials do not misuse the pulpit, no matter how much money they bring in.”

Abati also advised that religious leaders should be more discerning and familiar with constitutional boundaries when hosting public officials.
