His comments come amid recent remarks by Odili that Governor Siminilayi Fubara of Rivers State stopped Wike from making the state his private estate.
Reacting, Wike said Odili is a political jobber noting that when he was in power in 2015, the former governor was praising him to high heavens.
He claimed that Odili can trade anyone for money.
This comes as Wike, said he is focused on his assignment as Minister of Federal Capital Territory.
“What our former governor said is unfortunate. This is somebody that is supposed to be an elder statesman and a father.
“He said the president has been able to stop one politician/one man who wants to convert Rivers State to his personal estate.

“You remember, when I was a governor, Odili praised me to high heavens. In fact, he said no governor combined together has done what I did. Why in 2007, when he left power, couldn’t near power because Ameachi was in power, he was gone? When I came in as governor in 2015, I brought him back to life,” he stated.
