Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has responded to a recent allegation by former Governor Peter Odili that he turned Rivers State into his personal estate.
DAILY POST reported how Odili, who led Rivers State for eight years, accused Wike, also an ex-governor, of turning the oil-rich state into his personal property.
Odili had commended Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State for preventing the FCT Minister from turning the state into his private estate.
However, speaking at a luncheon in Port Harcourt on Friday, Wike fired back at the former governor.
The minister denied converting Rivers State into his private estate.
He said: “I never said so. I paid money for Rivers people to be medical doctors. I am trying to make Rivers State the medical hub of South-South Nigeria. How did I now come to convert Rivers State into a personal estate?
“I am the best governor that Rivers State has ever produced. How did I convert Rivers State as my personal estate? And people will not answer simple question.”

Social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse aka VeryDarkMan will appear before the House of Representatives on Monday over the bribery allegations made against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
VeryDarkMan had released an audio of crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky claiming to have bribed EFCC officials with N15 million to drop the money laundering case against him.
In the alleged video, Borisky also claimed he never spent his six-month jail term in Kirikiri prison in Lagos because his godfather made arrangements for him in a lodge.
Aggrieved by the allegation, the House of Representatives had invited VeryDarkMan, Bobrisky and EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede as part of its probe into the matter.
However, VeryDarkMan’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, said his client would honour the invitation as part of efforts to assist with the investigation.
Chatting with DAILY POST on Sunday, Adeyanju said: “We will be at the National Assembly tomorrow with our client @thatverydarkman to assist in investigations into allegations by Bobrisky that he/she paid N15m to have money laundering charges dropped by EFCC and also bribed prison officials to stay in an apartment.”
