A group known as Concerned Elders of Rivers State has criticized the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike for verbally attacking former governor of the state and elder statesman, Dr. Peter Odili.
The group in a statement called on Wike to tender an unresolved apology to Odili, stressing that they stand against his remarks against Odili.
“We stand against the unfortunate remarks made by Nyesom Wike, and his continuous disrespect towards dignified individuals, including former governors, traditional rulers, and clergymen.
“Such behaviour is unbecoming of someone, who has held high public office,” the group said.
The demand was issued in a statement signed by prominent leaders of the state, including former Governor Celestine Omehia, Prince Uche Secondus, former Deputy Governor of the state, Tele Ikuru, former Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Austin Opara, Senator Ngoji Denton West, former Minister of Transport, Dr. Abiye Sekibo, and Senator Lee Maeba among others.
