The former governor who asked his successor to go to court, if he had any case of fraud or misappropriation of the state’s funds against him said the N82 million allegation by Wike and his people, is aimed at
“distracting Rivers people from the incumbent governor’s massive electoral fraud, which different tribunals and appellate courts confirmed, as well as Wike’s gross incompetence and abysmal performance in Rivers State”.
Amaechi’s media office said:
“Wike must stop these silly distractions. Rivers people are not interested in his lies and witch-hunt. Rather, Rivers people want to know what will happen to their children that he stopped and cancelled the funding of their scholarships abroad. Rivers people want to know why the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA) set up by law, is no longer functioning. Why, instead of quality education, a standard set by his predecessor (Amaechi), grasses and weeds have taken over the beautiful schools built by Amaechi.
“Rivers people want to know why the standard health facilities and services put in place by the Amaechi administration are rotting away. Not this petty rambling.
“Rivers people want to know why Wike’s government does not care about the security of life and property, as violence and criminals have taken over. Rivers people want to know why it feels as if there is no government in Rivers State, and this is despite the billions of naira accruing to Wike’s administration and the tens of billions of naira borrowed.”
Governor Wike’s camp had recently through his information commissioner said that his administration would write to Prof. Soyinka to return the money, if he was given any cash during the birthday bash.
