The Former Minister of State for Education and the
governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
in Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, has accused the
Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, of spending
the sum N30 billion to fund the presidential campaign of
the All Progressives Congress.
Wike explained that the development had made it
impossible for the state government to pay workers’
salaries, adding that the governor was using state
resources to fund the APC with the hope that he would
be picked as the running mate to the APC presidential
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.
Wike pointed out that Amaechi was being deceived by
the leadership of the APC to continue to fund the party
and added that the APC leadership had never been
interested in selecting the governor as Buhari’s running
mate.
Speaking during his thank you visit to Ikwerre Local
Government Area on Thursday, Wike stated that the
future of Nigerians was in the PDP and not the APC.
“Do you know why workers’ salaries have not been paid?
Amaechi spent N30 billion in funding the presidential
campaign of the APC. They (APC leadership) allowed
him to spend the money and later, they called him mugu
(fool).
“They (APC) leadership said we will not make this ‘boy’
who does not respect the President (Jonathan) the vice
president. We should know that our future is in the PDP
and not the APC,” Wike stressed.
He urged the people of Ikwerre to vote for him and
President Goodluck Jonathan, adding that he would
review the value of land Amaechi bought from them for
the Greater Port Harcourt project.
The former minister decried the statement credited to the
APC governorship candidate in the state, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, that he (Peterside) would build on Amaechi’s
legacy.
According to him, some of the governor’s actions on the
state judiciary, monorail project were not worth
continuing as a legacy.
Wike, however, disclosed that he would unveil his running
mate on Tuesday, promising that a woman would emerge
as his deputy.
Reacting to Wike’s allegation, the State Commissioner
for Information and Communication, Mrs. Ibim
Semenitari, said the PDP governor spoke without facts,
even as she challenged him to show any proof that
Amaechi was funding the APC.
Describing Wike’s allegation as false and baseless,
Semenitari insisted that nobody would spend such an
amount on political campaigns, insisting that the state
government will not dignify the suck statement with
responses.
“Rivers State Government will not dignify such
unintelligent talk with responses. We will not respond to
unintelligent talk; we will not react to stupid
conjecturing,” Semenitari stressed.
