The political crisis enveloping Rivers State shows no sign of letting off as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused former Rivers State Governor, Peter Odili, of siding with Governor Siminalayi Fubara against him instead of playing a fatherly role in resolving the issues.
Wike made this known in Port Harcourt on Sunday during a thanksgiving service for the speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule.
The thanksgiving service was held at the Church of the Holy Spirit Anglican Church, Port Harcourt in honour of Amaewhule.
In attendance were top politicians from across party lines including APC South-South National Vice Chairman Victor Giadom, Rivers PDP Chairman, Aron Chukwuemeka, amongst other dignitaries.
In his address, the speaker expresses gratitude to God for his political journey so far.
In Wike’s address, he addressed the political crisis in the state. He aimed at the former governor Peter Odili, whom he accused of taking sides with Fubara against him.
Wike further highlighted some of the things he did for Odili and wondered why the former governor was biased against him.
This is coming barely 24 hours after Odili praised Fubara for his great developmental strides in governance.
