2023 Elections: How Would Amaechi React To This? – See What Wike Told Igbos In Rivers About Amaechi
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, stated that former All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant Rotimi Amaechi mobilized votes for Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar in the recently concluded presidential election.
On Saturday in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State governor made the revelation during an interactive meeting with the Technical Dealers Association of Nigeria, Computer Dealers Association, Garrison Phone Dealers Association, and Building Materials Traders Association.
Governor Wike stated that while members of the G-5 governors worked tirelessly to return power to the South, people like former Rivers State governor and immediate past Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, who is now soliciting Igbo support for APC candidate, Tonye Cole, mobilized votes for Atiku Abubakar.
“If Amaechi loves the Igbos, why did he not support Obi? Instead, he supported Atiku. He did not want power to return to the South because he lost APC ticket.”
The governor stated that Amaechi is deliberately canvassing support for Tonye Cole in order to halt their ongoing prosecution for stealing $50 million from the Rivers State government coffers.
Governor Wike warned Rivers State’s Igbos to be wary of Amaechi, who served as Minister of Transportation for more than seven years but failed to revive eastern ports and railway lines from Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt.
The governor recalled Amaechi’s vehement opposition to a plan to compensate Igbos who lost property in the state during the civil war when he was Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
According to him, Amaechi, who also served as Rivers State governor from 2007 to 2015, should not wake up in 2023 to resurrect the issue of abandoned property because of his inordinate political ambition.
