Kinsmen of former Rivers governor, Dr. Peter Odili have pleaded with the Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike to forgive their brother over his recent statement against him (Wike).
Odili is from ONELGA local government area of the state.
Odili had remarked, without naming anyone, that Governor Siminialayi Fubara had effectively thwarted attempts by one individual to turn the state into a personal domain.
In response, Wike had claimed that Odili had taken ownership of the state for himself and asserted that he had revitalized Odili and his family, arguing that Odili had no grounds to criticize him.
Weighing on the matter, Odili’s kinsmen who spoke on Friday at a New Year luncheon organised by Wike in Port Harcourt, frowned at the attack by Odili on Wike, stating that it was unnecessary.
The kinsmen said it was wrong for Odili, who they referred to as their father, to attack Wike after he (Odili) has rated the minister as the best governor Rivers State has produced.
Bro Felix Obuah, a.k.a Go Round who spoke on behalf of the kinsmen pleaded with Wike to forgive Odili, stressing that Odili’s comments were due to his old age.
