Speaking on Friday in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni (ONELGA) Local Government Area of Rivers State, Wike alleged that Mbata never completed his law degree at Rivers State University. In contrast, Wike highlighted his own academic and national achievements, including degrees from the University of Port Harcourt and Rivers State University, as well as receiving Nigeria’s fourth-highest national award.

Wike said, “Normally, I wouldn’t bother responding, but I must. Someone who was once a senator called me a semi-illiterate, yet that same person dropped out from Rivers State University while studying law and never graduated. I, on the other hand, completed my studies at the University of Port Harcourt, went to the same university he left, attended law school, and today I am a life bencher. The so-called ‘semi-illiterate’ holds Nigeria’s fourth-highest national award.”

The Minister also dismissed claims by Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara that supporters of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar are now rallying behind President Bola Tinubu.

He added, “I heard someone say, ‘Oh, those who supported Atiku are back.’ Yet, they couldn’t deliver even 10% for Atiku in 2023. So, what political advantage is there? I won’t mention names, but you all know them. We will do everything necessary to ensure that Tinubu receives the full support he deserves.”
