‘I’m Taking Him to Court’ — Bode George Hits Back at Wike Over Rivers Fund Claim

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Chief Bode George has vowed to sue Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike over allegations linking his Abuja residence to Rivers State funds.

Wike had, during a media chat in Abuja, challenged the elder statesman to explain the source of funds used to acquire the house he occupies in the Maitama area of the FCT, claiming the property was tied to money from Rivers State.

Responding on TVC News on Wednesday night, George dismissed the claims outright. “How was my house in Abuja bought with Rivers fund? I’m going to take him to court. I’m sure he was high on something,” he said.

The PDP leader further alleged that Wike had been disowned by his own father. “He is just the same age as my first child. Go and find out what his father did to him and what he did to his father. In Africa, do you know what it means when your biological father disowns you?” George asked.

He added: “He is talking absolute rubbish. I didn’t even build a house, I bought the house and it is still there. Am I from Rivers State that I will go there and collect funds? I’m not like him.”
