Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has lambasted former Rivers State Governor, Peter Odili, for saying present Governor Siminalayi Fubara stopped the Minister from turning Rivers into his private estate.
A statement issued on Saturday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Nelson Chukwudi, quoted Odili commending Fubara for stopping Wike from plundering the state resources and turning it into his private property.
Odili who spoke at a Christmas event organized by him in honour of Fubara and his family, said the governor summoned an unusual courage to confront Wike in his bid to capture Rivers through what he called a ferocious, but unnecessary political war for the control of the state’s resources.
