The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom
Wike, on Sunday, came down hard on ex-Rivers State Governor, Peter Odili,
describing him as a rent seeker and an ingrate for siding with incumbent
Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Wike was reacting to Odili’s recent remark that Fubara
stopped him (Wike) from turning Rivers into his private estate.
According to a statement on Sunday by his media aide,
Leke Olayinka, Wike spoke at a Special Thanksgiving Service organised by
factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, at
the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Oro-Igwe/Eliogbolo Archdeaconry
Church of the Holy Spirit, Eliozu Parish, Port Harcourt.
Wike, who tagged Odili an ingrate, narrated how he
built a house for the former governor, adding that Odili also had some of his
family members occupying positions in the Rivers State government, turning
Rivers into his personal estate.
