Senator Maeba said Wike lied against a man whom he had always called a father to achieve political interest.
In an interview with Arise TV on Thursday, the former Senator for Rivers South East condemned the narrative that former Governor Wike built a house for Odili.
Maeba explained that Wike appealed to Odili before he left the house he had lived in for 30 years to pack into the new house.
“We have to find a way to usher in decorum, because on Sunday, last Sunday, I think that was about the 29th or so of December, we saw the former governor in a church, in a church saying so many unprintable things against Governor Odili, who is old enough to be his father, who he has always called his father.
“I don’t see, we don’t see the politics of only being lawyer when you are, when you are expecting a position or being lawyer when it is expedient for you to be lawyer. It is excessive for the former governor, for the minister of the FCT, for a holder of the national honor of the commander of the order of the Niger, to have gone too low, below patriotism. Taking on the state, taking on Odili and calling names, a lot of the things he put in that comment in the church were very, very wrong,” he said.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain called on the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and Pentcostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) to advise churches against allowing politicians to use their altars and pulpits to settle political issues.
“I also call on the Christian Association of Nigeria and the PFN, push on some churches, you tell them to allow your altar, your pulpit to be used for political settlement. It’s very wrong. The church would have stopped him.
