Edo governor speaks amid Wike, Fubara’s rift

The Edo state governor’s comment came amid the new tension in Rivers state’s political crisis. The former governor and influential political figure in the state, Peter Odidi, praised Governor Siminalayi Fubara for stopping Wike from turning the state into his estate.

In his response to Odili’s claim, Wike listed the number of Odili’s family members working under Fubara’s administration, adding that the former governor would soon arrange a wife for Governor Fubara.

Wike and Fubara’s rift started soon after the latter resumed the governor’s office. Wike was known to be the sole force behind Governor Fubara’s emergence in the state’s politics.
