PORT HARCOURT: Kinsmen of the Minister of Federal
Capital Territory, FCT, Chief Nyesom Wike, have pleaded with the former
governor of the state, Dr Peter Odili, to forgive their brother (Wike) over his
recent statement against him (Odili).
The Minister of FCT had stated that Odili has
personalized the state to himself, and that he (Wike) restored life to Odili
and family, even as he noted that Odili has no justification to speak against
him.
The former governor, Odili, had earlier said without
name calling, that Governor Siminialayi Fubara, has successfully prevented one
man from converting the state into his private estate.
However, responding to the statement in Port Harcourt,
Initiative for Transparent Strategy and Good Leadership, stated that the attack
by Wike on Odili was unnecessary.
President General of the body, Barr Chizy Enyi, who is
a kinsman of the Minister of FCT, said it was wrong for Wike to say the many
unprintable things against the former Governor Odili, when he (Odili) did not
openly call out his name in the earlier speech.
Enyi expressed worries that Wike was referring to the
same man whom he had declared was responsible for his success in politics,
exonerating Odili of the allegations by Wike.
He said: “Our worry is that this is the same Nyesom
Wike, who publicly in a live television said that if not for Sir Dr. Peter
Odili and his wife, he could not have made it to be the governor of Rivers
State.
“He swore that any day, he would say anything that
would make the family of Dr. Odili to cry, that God should not allow him to
grow. However, we have come to a realisation that his stock in trade is to say
one thing and do another. In the same way, he bragged that he could never be a
Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria again, and today, what is he?
