The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, criticizes former Rivers State Governor Peter Odili for allegedly making the state his personal property, pointing to his wife and daughters' prominent positions. This follows Odili's claim that current Governor Simi Fubara prevented Wike from similarly controlling the state.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike , has described the former governor of Rivers State , Peter Odili , as a 'General Overseer' who has turned the state into his personal estate. Wike said Odili made sure his wife and two daughters held high-level positions in the state. The minister was reacting to Odili's remarks that Governor Simi Fubara stopped him (Wike) from making Rivers State his private estate.
Odili, in his remarks, said Fubara summoned unusual fortitude to confront Wike's quest of capturing the state through ferocious but unnecessary political war. However, in a statement by his media aide, Lere Olayinka, Wike said: 'Between him and myself, who has turned Rivers State to his personal estate? His wife is a Chairman of Governing Council, his daughter is a commissioner, his other daughter is a judge and he is the general overseer. 'Who has now turned Rivers State to his private estate? I am sure if care is not taken if there is a chance, he can even arrange a marriage for the governor. 'It was his nephew, his late senior brother's son, that was recommended for commissioner. He took the slot and gave it to his own daughter. 'Someone who didn't remember to stand for the son of his late elder brother, is that an elder statesman?
