Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has accused his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, of allegedly spending the sum of one hundred and fifty million dollars $150m to finance the 2015 elections of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Governor Wike made the allegation while speaking at a thanksgiving service held at Saint Peter’s Anglican Church, Rumueprikom, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state.

He said the former governor allegedly spent the huge sum between December 1 and 18, 2014 to sponsor the national election campaigns of APC.

Wike vowed to recover monies belonging to the state, just he called for a comprehensive fight against corruption and canvassed support for the prosecution of all those behind the alleged looting of funds.

The governor further said a plot had been hatched to arrest and detain him before the national and state assemblies rerun elections which had been postponed to March 19, 2016.

Wike restated his earlier declaration that he would not allow the rigging of the rerun elections in the state, warning that any INEC staff who attempts to rig would be treated as an armed robber.

Wike said: “Nothing is impossible with God. We won the election clearly as confirmed by the Supreme Court. If there was a rerun, I wouldn’t have contested because there would have been bloodbath. I resolved not to be part of anything that would bring bloodbath,” he said.

“I am the executive governor of Rivers State and a strong one for that matter. We will support INEC to conduct credible elections. However, any official who plans to rig will get the treatment reserved for armed robbers”, he said.

In his sermon, Archbishop of the Niger Delta Province, Ignatius Kattey, said the victory of Governor Wike at the Supreme Court had brought peace to the state and called on the governor to be the father of all the people of the state.

Who dey sell pepper nor dey carry hand scratch brokus.... Amaechi, ur time don come. FTC....... Dedicate this feat to my beautiful friend Ebayray.

who get phone to sell, ondo or kano

See Wetin supreme court judgement de cause abeg. Wike has suddenly found his lost voice.








Prove your allegations, Mr wike.

If Amaechi spent only $150m as alleged then he is very prudent when compared with the amount Dasuki and co shared. Amaechi deserve commendation. Stop lamenting, the elections are over.

E don red for the Lizard of Ubima. Amaechi is an high ranking thief

I pity those Sai Buhari Zombies that feel APC is different from PDP. Unfortunately it's going to take most of them 2019 to realize that the so called change is a scam. The only way out for Nigeria is regionalism. I supported GEJ because the implementation of the National Conference would have taken us a reasonable step towards regionalism

Amaechi is a thief likewise Buhari

"They fixed re-run elections for 6th of February with hope that Supreme court will send me away on 27th of January, they have perfected plan to arrest me on Wednesday 28th of January just to demoralise PDP members in rivers state so that they will be able to use federal might to win all senate, house of reps and state house of assembly seats in favour of APC. But when Supreme Court upheld my election, they felt disappointed and INEC shifted rerun elections. I called INEC chairman in Abuja that why did you shift the rerun elections, Professor Mahmud was only stammering with a filmsy excuse. I challenged him that Rivers people are ready and that he should let election take place as planned. That is to further tell you their calculated plan on Rivers State, but God disappointed them".

efcc will be blind on this issue, corruption buhari is fighting for are only his opposition period.

---"and Buhari is out there fighting corruption"?

Ameachi, u can run but u can never hide. If PDP win 2019. Ameachi is gonna; trust me.

I strongly felt bitterly for the people of rivers state for having a clownish personality like Wike as a governor.
He spoke in the church with utter disrespect and disregard for the beloved people of rivers state not minding the sacredness of the church.
I wondered whether he had a formal education as a lawyer or he is a product of a miracle centre. Even in the hight of Fayose's insanity he won't malign his people in the public including the Archbishop in the public glaring.
Wike needs co-ordination, comportment and carriage if he is to be taken serious as a governor on a mission.

No need to identify what we have spotted here! Simply by viewing its comments it is clear!

Hmmmmm, I pity ur ass wike
You should just shut up and remain as a champion
Draging issue and Accusing group of Amaechi might later lead to unwanted tinz.
The Group that remove Incumbent President with a clean hand and fair Channel, can remove you if its a must without costin dem kobo and even use waater wash ur hand sef.

like seriously I normally ignore comments like this but urs made me stop by you stopped being reasonable since when really? Am worried and I have every reason to be

Oga Wike, explain how you take calculate 150. U dey there or na amaechi tell u.

Kk

This will remain an allegation until proven otherwise. The problem is not how much he spent on election, but the source of the money spent. Give evidence of its illegal acquisition and you're sure to get back at him full time. Until then, I'll assume you've been Fayoselised

Oh Nyesom Wike do please shut up! I would have believed by now you would have understood what it means notto just throw frivolous accusation.

If Amaechi spent 150 million dollars, provide evidence to back up your claim and show us where Amaechi got the money from, and how the money was transfered, because if Amaechi didn't use bank transfer to transfer it, then, he's guilty of money laundering. Don't just engage in beer parlor criticisms just for the fun of it.

That's something he should have done, not just open his vocal cavity and spew nonsense.

Hypocrisy is when u call odili ur mentor and call ameachi criminal

Who doesn't know that APC's Buhari is a hypocrite and a liar.

In other words, he paid for his ministarial sit...

Wike nd ameachi no difference just dat one is in apc one is in pdp

One thing that is common about pdp is making spurious allegations on the pages of media without taking it to court for prosecution, political propaganda to discredit their opponent. This is where apc is different, they don't just accuse but they come out with facts and figure back up with probe. For those that will argue that apc is able to probe because they in power should remember that pdp was in power for 16yrs and for 8yrs someone like Tinubu has no immunity and all will have had from pdp is media allegation that he enrich himself with Lagos. Amaechi has been accused of several cases of fraud, even during the senate ministerial screening it was amazing how he mesmerised his accusers, Buhari has asked that anyone with evidence of corruption against any of his officials should come forward with it, Wike should stop his propagandas and pile up his facts against Amaechi to the EFCC, he should tender the proof of the submition and challenge it in the law court.

Amaechi is a common thief..... Lie Mohammed

We know where pdp election funds came from abi. Pls where apc's see thier own money After all baba use bank loan buy form. Who is fooling who
