Governor Amaechi yesterday spoke on
the issue of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of State for Education, whom he
nominated for appointment as minister.
On a visit to him by the Bishops of
the Niger Delta who came to mediate on the problem between him and first Lady
Dame Patience Jonathan Amaechi said “I hear you visited Nyesom Wike. I try not
to talk about Wike. I say so because he is my subordinate; I try not to talk
about him but I hear you visited him. Why I won’t talk about him is that Nyesom
Wike, his second tenure as Obio Akpor council chairman was by the grace of God,
but I was the architect of that second term.
“Wike was appointed Chief of Staff by
me. As a Minister of State, I nominated him. I was under pressure by the
President to drop him, I refused.
“The President persuaded me to drop
him and bring a woman but I refused. I hear he is going all over town, saying I
didn’t appoint him. I didn’t appoint him, the President appointed him, but I
nominated him to be a minister. I did but you know, character doesn’t come easily,
character is a very difficult thing and I am a man of character,” Amaechi said.
