Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s FCT Minister, has declared himself the best governor Rivers State ever had.
Speaking at a lunch event he hosted in Port Harcourt on Friday, Wike addressed criticisms from former Rivers State Governor Peter Odili.
Odili had accused Wike of nearly running the state as his personal property and commended the current governor, Siminalayi Fubara, for putting a stop to such tendencies.
Wike defended himself by pointing to his achievements as governor. He said: “I paid money for Rivers people to be medical doctors. I am trying to make Rivers state the medical hub of south-south Nigeria.”
He then challenged his critics: “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 questions.”
