Rivers State former governor, Peter Odili, has been exposed by the immediate past governor of the state and now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
According to Wike, Odili has turned Rivers State into his personal estate, adding that his wife and daughters are holding high-level positions in the state.
This is coming following Odili’s remarks that Governor Simi Fubara stopped him from making Rivers State his private estate.
For those who don’t know, Odili had said that “Governor Fubara summoned unusual fortitude to confront Wike’s quest of capturing the state through ferocious but unnecessary political war.”
However, Wike, reacting through his media aide, Lere Olayinka, said; “Between Odili 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?”
