Rotimi Amaechi storms Rivers, dares Wike to come out with his thugs for Re-Run Election


Rivers APC leader and Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi has dared the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to come out with all his ‘criminals ‘ in the March 19 National and State Assembly re-run in Rivers State as he has threatened....


Amaechi said the All Progressives Congress, APC, members and himself would be waiting for him.

Amaechi made this known while speaking as a guest on Rhythm 93.7 FM current Affairs Programme “View Point” in Port Harcourt on Saturday .

He accused Governor Wike of abdicating his responsibility of protecting lives and property.

Amaechi, a former Rivers governor said he had been inundated with calls of crying and helpless Rivers people who are faced with deaths and intimidation by the Rivers State Government under Wike.

He accused the Rivers Commissioner of Police, Musa Kimo, of complacency while members of APC were being killed and beheaded.

On the military presence in some parts of Rivers State, Amaechi said their presence is as result of the failure of the State Governor and the Police to do what is needful while the state is bleeding.

Amaechi said: “The Military went to Ogoniland to fish out one Solomon Ndigbara but when they got there they were attacked by Ndigbara and his boys. Soldiers are human beings, they have right to retaliate in self defence.”

One caller who gave his name as Kennedy Friday, an Ogoni phoned into the programme and said: “I am an indigene of Rivers state. Please the state is on fire. You don’t know what to say or you get killed. Just yesterday, Friday, somebody was dragged from his House in Nyeche community and was killed. What can your Excellency do to help the state? The state is on fire.”

Amaechi said that the State Government under Wike has so intimidated his opponents to the extent that APC members are scared to even come out and campaign or identify themselves as APC members.

The Minister said he has arrived the state to lead APC campaign and with help of the security agencies to forestall violence that gave PDP victory when as Minister of State for Education, Wike was given the powers of controlling the Service commanders in the state by Goodluck Jonathan.

He said given the present scenario President Buhari would not allow such killing in the state to continue.

Amaechi lamented that because he came from a very poor background and his parents found it difficult to pay his fees, as Governor he felt the best legacy you can bequeath to your children is education.

Unfortunately, he said “Wike does not believe in education for the poor. That is why the schools have been abandoned and allowed to be overgrown with weeds...


“Let Nyesom Wike come out with his criminals next week Saturday. I have come back. He worked as a ‘Tiger’ during the General elections in 2015. This time I will work during next Saturday Rerun.”
