Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation has slammed Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike, alleging that he has declared war on President
Muhammdu Buhari-led federal government.
Amaechi made this assertion while reacting Wike’s allegation that the money discovered in a flat in Ikoyi, Lagos, belongs to Rivers state government.
Amaechi made this assertion while reacting Wike’s allegation that the money discovered in a flat in Ikoyi, Lagos, belongs to Rivers state government.
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) who
raided the building on Thursday discovered $43.4m, £27,800 and N23.2m.
A statement released by his media office on Saturday, Amaechi said: “Wike’s reckless, irresponsible and fictitious tirade against the President Buhari administration at his media briefing of Friday is a declaration of war against the federal government.
“This has been his regular past time in recent times, making false allegations against the federal government and threatening the President Buhari administration with fire and brimstone.
“Rivers State is perpetually in crisis, the state in a mess as Wike has made a total mess of governance in the state.
“That child who sits there as governor is confused, he doesn’t know what to do. Wike’s only solution is to attack Amaechi.
“Since he became governor, Wike sleeps and wakes up everyday, with a sole, one-point agenda to attack and denigrate Rotimi Amaechi, no matter how ridiculous and silly he sounds. Everyday in Rivers state, there is one frivolous, false story of what Amaechi did or didn’t do.
“Same pattern, the same blatant lies with no proof, same old concocted stories of corruption allegations against Amaechi told with different flavours. At this rate, if Wike is unable to perform his spousal duties, he will blame it on Amaechi. Yes, that’s how despicably low he can go in his consuming fixation to throw mud at Amaechi.
“This latest outburst by Wike is typical of him. We are aware that Wike first tried to float the fake news of Amaechi’s ownership of the recovered $43million and the Ikoyi house in the social media using his minions and lackeys, spending huge sums of Rivers money on the failed project.
“His minions and lackeys were calling journalists, bloggers and media organisations to run the fake story with promises of almost irresistible mouth-watering compensation for using the fake story.
“When that failed and the story didn’t gain traction that was when Wike decided to hurriedly hold the press conference Friday night, to rant and spew his outright lies, yet again without providing any proof of Amaechi’s ownership of both the property and the money.
“For clarity and emphasis, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is not the owner of the $43million and the Ikoyi apartment in which the money was recovered from. Amaechi has no business, link or connection to the money or property. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi does not know who owns the money or Ikoyi apartment.
