“To all of
us who passed through Christ The King College (CKC), Onitsha, Senior Odili is
an a source of pride. He was the first CKC product to become a governor and
served the people of Rivers State to the best of his ability for eight eventful
years,” Obi said Saturday in a statement personally signed by him.
He noted
that “Dr. Odili has since after leaving office as Governor gone on to become
one of the stabilising forces in Nigerian politics who, working behind the
scenes, have continued to promote the development and progress of the country.”
Obi also
praised Dr. Odili “for his key role in advancing medical practice and the body
of knowledge”, noting that “his legacies in these areas remain indelible in
PAMO Clinic and PAMO Medical University – two institutions which bear eloquent
testimony to Dr. Odili’s commitment towards advancing the cause of Nigeria and
promoting the interests of Nigerians.”
He wished
the elder statesman a happy birthday and many more years of good health and
God’s continued blessings.
Obi in the
statement specially thanked incumbent Rivers State Governor, Barrister Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike, “for recognising Dr. Odili him as their political godfather and
getting other loyal Odili disciples to work tirelessly for the development of
Rivers State.” He noted that “going by the way Governor Wike – alias Mr.
Projects – is going, Rivers State will soon become the favourite destination
for business and politics in Nigeria.”
The former
Anambra Governor endorsed Wike’s quest for re-election during the 2019 polls,
urging the Rivers electorate “to renew Governor Wike’s mandate in order to
enable him to finish the good work he has started, the result of which is there
for all to see.”
