The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara has described erstwhile governor, Peter Odili as the the beginning and end of politics in the state.

Speaking at the 2025 New Year State Banquet in Government House, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday night, Fubara said that Odili is the right face and image of Rivers State. 

He noted that 2024 was not an easy year, as there were challenges from people who believed that they control life. He, however stated that the year ended great. 

According to him, “ The beginning and the end of politics in this State is Sir Peter Odili. And if he is sitting with us here, and with these other persons, who do they have with them? 

“This Odili is the right face and right image of our state. These are the frontiers of Rivers State politics. Men and women that have distinguished themselves are sitting with us here. 

“People who have contributed in several ways to make Rivers State what it is, not rented people they bring for dinner. 

“2024 was not an easy year, but it was great for us in the end. About this time last year, we were not in a very pleasant mood, for fear of what might happen, because of the boasting of those who believe they control life.” 

The face-off between Wike and Fubara had led to Odili taking sides with the Rivers State governor. 

Wike and Fubara have been at each other’s neck over who controls the political structure in Rivers State.
