Nyesom Wike, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has declared himself the best governor Rivers State has ever had making reference to his intentional efforts to promote the state’s progress during his tenure.
Wike made this assertion on Friday at a luncheon he hosted in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Daily Report Nigeria gathers that this was in response to allegations by Peter Odili, a former governor of the state, that Wike had attempted to convert Rivers into his personal estate.
Odili had praised Siminalayi Fubara, the current governor of Rivers, for preventing Wike from achieving this goal.

Wike further denied the allegations, questioning how he could have converted the state into his personal estate.
