Abiye Sekibo, a leader of the PDP in Rivers State has spoken about the tensions surrounding former Governor Nyesom Wike and his successor, Governor Siminalayi Fubara
In a video recently shared on YouTube by Channels TV, Sekibo alleged that Wike insulted former Governor Peter Odili and his wife, Justice Mary Peter Odili because they refused to support his efforts to remove Fubara as governor. He also expressed reservations about Wike's appointment as Minister of the FCT. He alleged that Wike's tenure as governor was marked by misuse of power and that he may misuse his power as FCT minister.
In Sekibo's words: "He (Wike) insulted former Governor Peter Odili and his wife Justice Mary Peter Odili because they refused to back his failed attempts to unjustifiably impeach the duly elected governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara. We have nothing against President Tinubu compensating Nyesom Wike with the office of the Minister of the FCT, however, we owe the president a duty to explain some facts and advise him on the character and machinations of his appointee. We wish to let the president know that this appointee ran a Kleptocratic government when he reigned supreme as governor of Rivers and may do the same in FCT if the president looks the other way"
