A Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Bode George, has dismissed allegations by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, that his Maitama residence in Abuja was funded with Rivers State money.
He described the claim as the outburst of a man who needs urgent psychiatric attention.
Wike had, during a media chat in Abuja on Tuesday, described George as the “father of corruption” and challenged him to explain the source of funds used to acquire the property.
Reacting on TVC News on Wednesday night, George denied the allegation and threatened to sue Wike.
He said he did not build the house but bought it from its original owner, who he said was a retired civil servant.
