A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the attacks by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on the ex-Governor of Rivers State, Dr. Peter Odili.
Newspot reports that Odili drew the first blood when he commended the Governor of Rivers State, Sim Fubara, for preventing Wike from turning the state into his private property.
Reacting during a Special Thanksgiving Service organized by the factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, at the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Oro-Igwe/Eliogbolo Archdeaconry Church of the Holy Spirit, Eliozu Parish, Port Harcourt, Wike referred to Odili as an “ingrate” and “rent seeker.”
However, Frank, in a statement issued Tuesday, said Wike has again exhibited his true character of betraying his friends and benefactors.
He noted: “Wike’s condemnable outburst against Odili shows how quickly he can turn friends into foes and his irredeemable unpredictability.
“This is not his first time, and it will not be his last. Nigerians are aware of how Wike betrayed ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience, after they appointed him as Minister of Education and assisted him in becoming Governor of Rivers State.
“Nigerians are also aware of how the Minister worked against the political interests of the ex-Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, after benefiting maximally from the latter’s political patronage.
“In 2023, Wike formed an unholy alliance against his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and ensured they lost the presidency.
“Up till this moment, he has continued to orchestrate crises in the party, like he is doing in Rivers State, to weaken it politically ahead of 2027.
“What better evidence of treachery do we need from a man who is both a member of the PDP and a minister in an APC administration?”
