Peter Odili, the former governor of Rivers State, has praised Governor Siminalayi Fubara for his leadership and courage in the face of adversity. Odili noted that Fubara prevented the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, from turning the state into a private estate through a fierce and unnecessary political war.
This statement was made at a Christmas ballad organized by Odili in honour of Governor Fubara and his family. Odili commended Fubara’s unusual fortitude in confronting Wike’s challenges, which has led to the emancipation of Rivers people and steadied governance.
