Former governor Peter Odili has endorsed the current political leader of Rivers state, causing a stir among his detractors. The endorsement was made during the inauguration of a healthcare facility in Odili's hometown.
“Our people said I should tell you to stand with the president and align with his positive policies and link the people of Rivers state with the centre,” Odili said.
Fubara said Odili’s backing has triggered “people high blood pressure”, adding that his detractors are now “restless, granting all sorts of media interviews.” “So, if we have one person who has integrity and character, is it not better than having 1,000 persons with questionable character? So, we are happy to identify with him.”
