Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stated that Dr. Peter Odili, the former governor of Rivers State, is unable to murder him.

In light of the ongoing conflict with Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara, Wike said this while accusing Odili of defying President Bola Tinubu over the Rivers peace agreement.

Wike rejected requests from certain Rivers State elders for him to apologise to Odili for his recent remarks during a New Year’s luncheon he hosted at his rural home in Obio-Akpor on Friday.

Wike said he had done nothing wrong and promised to not allow anyone to bully him.

He said: “They said I should apologize; for what? That there is no law that says their daughter should not, but I said as an elder statesman, should you have given what belongs to your nephew to your daughter?

“Did I say that there is a law that says your daughter should not be something? But you said somebody is converting Rivers State to his personal estate. It’s not correct. The man who is converting Rivers State to a personal estate is you, and to crown it up, you are now the general overseer.

“I didn’t say anything wrong, so you cannot kill me for what I didn’t say. Tinubu is not like you. If you are a good person, Tinubu called Rivers people. As an elder statesman, he wanted you to make peace, but you came home. Ordinarily, what you should have done was to call Mr. President back and tell him how you have tried to implement some of them. Is there any way we can do the rest? Rather, you disobeyed.

“They said elders said I should apologize. Apologize for what?

“I said that I heard and I read that somebody who should be our elder statesman said this thing today and said a different thing tomorrow, and I said no. No elder statesman should say that. And the elder statesman didn’t say, ‘I didn’t say so.’ If he had said he didn’t say that, I would have apologized. But he didn’t deny the statement.

“I didn’t abuse anybody. I said our elder statesman was the one telling people the kind of mansion and castle I built for him. I didn’t say I said so. It is not me who said it. It is the man who is supposed to be an elder statesman that said so. You are the one going about telling people what I did.”
