Former Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, had two years ago declared loyalty to Dr. Odili who played pivotal roles in shaping his political career.
Just two years ago, Wike said this about the Odilis, “I know I will die one day. But the truth must be told. Any day that I will make Dr. Odili and his family cry, God, don’t make me grow. These people suffered blackmail and everything because of some people like us.”
The commentary highlighted Wike’s relationship with Dr. Peter Odili and his family, who reportedly played significant roles in his rise to prominence but his betrayal and inconsistency in his political dealings has caused rife.
Wike’s earlier promises to remain loyal to the Odili family, acknowledging their contributions to his political and personal life, including his wife’s career advancement as a judge. Despite this, Wike is accused of commissioning attacks against the Odilis and leading a campaign of criticism against the family.
Wike once described the APC as a “cancer” and pledged to have no association with them, only to align with the party later. Additionally, he swore to support whoever emerged as the PDP presidential candidate but reneged on that commitment and took a different path.
It is also alleged that Wike vowed to remain loyal to Goodluck Jonathan and his wife but later betrayed them both. He promised never to act against the PDP, yet he is now actively undermining the party.
These accusations have fueled debates about Wike’s political legacy and character, raising questions about loyalty and consistency in Nigerian politics.
