Wike’s strongman Odiari Princewill who before his death was the Chairman of Asari Toru Local Government Area, Rivers State, and also known be a very strong loyalist of the politically defiant and indefatigable governor of Rivers state.

9News Nigeria Port Harcourt correspondent gathered that the local government council boss breathed his last breath on Wednesday at about 10pm and was buried on at the Port Harcourt cemetery Thursday morning.

Though some sources claimed that the chairman succumbed to complications arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, others dismissed the claims saying Princewill was sick for some days and was receiving treatment at an undisclosed facility before his death.
