Rotimi Amaechi Replies Nyesom Wike Over $150m Allegation
Sadly, on Sunday, February 7, 2016,
Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers
State in furtherance of his
administration’s one-point agenda,
yet again, continued his grossly
irresponsible, repugnant and
contemptuous, albeit, feckless
mission of denigrating and
disparaging the person and office of
the immediate past governor of the
state, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi, who is now the minister of
transportation.
The ‘story-story’ this time is about
another phantom $150,000,000(One
Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars)
that Amaechi purportedly stole from
Rivers State government coffers and
siphoned to his party, the All
Progressives Congress(APC) within
eighteen days, from December 1 to
18 of 2014.
Sadly again, Wike picked a church, a
sacred temple of God to tell his new
imaginary tale, another bogus,
fallacious concoction.
This new scurrilous fabrication by
Governor Wike is in sync with the
one-point agenda of the Wike
administration, which is to throw as
much mud as possible at former
governor Amaechi, hoping that some
may at least stick.
All sorts of spurious stories about
alleged corruption and stealing of
state funds against the Amaechi
administration, have been bandied
in the media with no attempt to
substantiate or prove these distorted
false claims that completely makes
nonsense of common sense.
Even, when Amaechi challenged the
Wike administration and its agents
to use any constitutionally available
legal process or procedure to prove
their jaundice, deceitful allegations
against him and his administration,
they have rather elected to do their
own corruption probe, trial and
conviction in the media; and now,
even inside our solemn places of
worship (churches).
How callous! Why would a
government be so determined to
desecrate and destroy every
institution, all in the name of
playing politics?
It continues to baffle us, like most
right-thinking Nigerians that
Governor Wike will stand in a
church- a solemn place of worship-
and carelessly, brusquely tell such a
profound lie.
He condescendingly descended to
falsely and indecorously shout
corruption against Amaechi, without
providing a single shred of evidence
to back his claims. How pathetic!
Pray, Governor Wike, who collected
the $150million on behalf of APC?
From which State Government
account(s) was the $150million
taken from? How was the
$150million taken and given to APC?
Was it by wired transfer from Rivers
State government account(s) to APC
account(s)? So many questions, if
Wike had attempted to answer,
would have made nonsense of his
supercilious allegations.
Rivers people and Nigerians are
indeed sick and tired of this old
worn-out trick of Governor Wike to
hoodwink and distract Rivers people
from the real issues.
Making a new spurious allegation of
corruption against Amaechi every
day, will not make Rivers people
forget that most of the beautiful,
working institutions built by the
Amaechi administration are now
been allowed to rot away in spite of
the billions of naira that had accrued
to the State and the billions of naira
borrowed by Wike.
Rivers people want to know why
weeds and grasses have taken over
the beautiful schools built by
Amaechi? Why the standard working
health facilities Amaechi built and
left behind are now looking desolate
and abandoned? Rivers people are
concerned and worried that crime
and criminals are back and have
taken over.
No quantum of mudslinging and
attempt to disparage the inspiring
legacies of the Amaechi years in
Rivers State would distract Rivers
people from these issues.
