Rivers Elders Beg Odili To Forgive Wike Over Utterances

The kinsmen of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, have appealed to the former governor of Rivers State, Dr. Peter Odili, to forgive their brother over his recent outbursts against him…READ MORE…

This comes as Chief Anabs Sarah-Igbe, spokesman of the Pan Niger Delta Elders Forum, PANDEF, described Wike as a “drowning man who wants to drag anyone along with him.”

Wike’s Showmanship Not Good for Rivers Development

The Minister of FCT had stated that Odili personalized the state for himself and that he, Wike, restored life to Odili and his family. However, responding to the statement, Initiative for Transparent Strategy and Good Leadership stated that the attack by Wike on Odili was unnecessary.

President General of the body, Chizy Enyi, who is a kinsman of the Minister of FCT, said it was wrong for Wike to say many unprintable things against the former Governor Odili, when he did not openly call out his name in the earlier speech.

Wike’s Attack on Odili Unnecessary

Enyi recalled how Wike had earlier praised Odili and his wife, Justice Mary Odili (retd), to “high heavens only to turn around and drag the same people in the mud.”

He argued that while Odili has a name, integrity, and pedigree, “Wike lacks all of these qualities and should not be taken seriously because he is a drowning person.”

Odili Should Ignore Wike’s Insult

Sarah-Igbe called on Dr. Odili to ignore Wike’s insult and continue to play the fatherly role he is playing in Rivers State.

Wike’s Anger May Stem from Losing State Structure

Sarah-Igbe pointed out that Wike’s anger may stem from the fact that he has lost the 23 local government structure and the House of Assembly to the firm grip of Governor Fubara.

Elders Apologize to Odili and His Family

On behalf of Rivers people, Wike, inclusive, Enyi apologized to Odili, the former Golden governor of Rivers State, and his family, as they pleaded with him to forgive Wike.

Wike’s Showmanship Has Done Harm

Enyi stated that Wike’s showmanship is not good for Rivers development and that he should always know what to say and how to say it.

Odili Should Not Be Reduced to Nothing

He said that Wike cannot reduce the golden governor to nothing and that the showmanship of Wike has done more harm than good to himself.
