Rivers: APC Berates Wike Over Attack On Hon. Udi Odum


The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, has berated Governor Nyesom Ezenwo for attacking the newly appointed Minister of State for Environment, Hon. Udi Odum.

Publicity Secretary of the party, Senibo Chris Finebone, speaking on a live radio programme on Monday said it was regrettable that the governor has not learnt from his past insults on people.

Finebone said: “Well, that was a insult from the governor and it came from his character and his image. We thought that by now, the governor would have learnt a big lesson on how not to insult people, antagonise people and make enemies for himself.

“By the way, when he became a junior Minister himself, he has not achieved more that Hon. Udi Odum has achieved.

“So, I don’t know where he is coming from making such statements. It is all part of his insult on people.

“By right, I expect the governor to become sober now, he should be counting on his fingers, what his insult on people has brought to him. But, it looks like he hasn’t learnt his lessons.”

You would recall that Gov Nyesom Ezenwo Wike - CON while swearing-in five commissioners last Saturday, described the appointment of Odum, a former chairman of Abua/Odual local government area of the state, as an insult on the people of the state.
