Did Wike Come Down From Heaven With Structures? -Twist As Ex-Ally Tackles Wike
Former adviser to the ex-governor of Rivers State, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, has criticized his former principal, Nyesom Wike, for attempting to dominate political structures in Rivers State.
Inko-Tariah emphasized that Wike did not face similar external influence during his tenure. He contested the idea of a fixed political structure, highlighting the influential roles of former governors Peter Odili and Rotimi Amaechi in shaping state politics.
In an interview with AIT, Inko-Tariah stated, “Did he [Wike] allow anybody to control him when he was governor? Talking about structure, what structure are you talking about? Did Wike come down with any structure from heaven, Peter Odili as a governor had a structure.”
“The godfather of modern-day structures in Rivers State should be Peter Odili. The then Rivers state was more or less a PDP system. After Peter Odili, Rotimi Amaechi had his own structure. So what structure are you talking about?”
