Odili noted that Fubara prevented the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, from turning the state into a private estate through a fierce and unnecessary political war.
This statement was made at a Christmas ballad organized by Odili in honour of Governor Fubara and his family. Odili commended Fubara’s unusual fortitude in confronting Wike’s challenges, which has led to the emancipation of Rivers people and steadied governance.
According to Vanguard, he also acknowledged that Fubara has made civil servants and Rivers people happier, much like during his own tenure as governor until 2007. This endorsement is significant, as Odili is respected in Rivers State politics.

He stated that God gave him a new perspective on leadership, allowing him to see the crisis as an opportunity for growth and governance. Fubara also acknowledged the strength of support from the Rivers people, which has been his source of encouragement and motivation.
Fubara assured the people of Rivers State that his administration is committed to making every succeeding year better, with remarkable records of progress. He also vowed to continue doing what is right and to run a government that uplifts the state’s image. Fubara’s commitment to good governance and the well-being of Rivers people is evident in his words and actions.
The event, attended by prominent figures in Rivers State, including the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly and the Chief Judge of Rivers State, was a testament to the people’s unity and solidarity.
