VIDEO: Wike reveals how Peter Odili made his daughter Commissioner in Rivers
Former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has criticized his predecessor, Peter Odili, accusing him of turning the state into a personal estate during his tenure.
Speaking during a public address, Wike said, “Between him and myself, who has turned Rivers State to his personal estate? His wife is the Chairman of a Governing Council, his daughter is a commissioner, his other daughter is a judge, and he is the general overseer.”
Wike further alleged nepotism in Odili’s appointments, claiming the former governor prioritized his family over others.
“It was his nephew, his late senior brother’s son, that was recommended for commissioner. He took the slot and gave it to his own daughter. Someone who didn’t stand for the son of his late elder brother, is that an elder statesman?” Wike asked.
