Again, Wike blasts Amaechi, calls him total failure

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Monday has described his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, as a total failure.

According to Wike, Amaeci did not attract any meaningful project to the state as Minister of Transportation.

Wike said this while reacting to Amaechi’s comments that the Rivers State Government refused to give state burial to the late Chief Alabo Graham-Douglas that was laid to rest last weekend.

He said, “A man who failed in attracting projects to his state and exhibited poor leadership within his depleted party, the All Progressives Congress, should hide his face in shame and stop talking about Rivers politics.

“We have taken all your people. Nobody is in your party again. Why not manage and stay quiet because of your poor leadership.

“Tell the Rivers State people, as Minister of Transportation, what you did for your people. Seven good years, all you were interested in was doing business with CCECC, doing standard rail gauge and the other gauges until now, we have not seen any in Port Harcourt to Maiduguri.”

Wike said he made grants available to the Kenule Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic in Bori and the Ignatius Ajuru University, Port Harcourt, in addition to renovating several secondary schools in the state.

“Let me use this opportunity to say that I am very disappointed that Amaechi will still come to the state to talk about this government not giving late Alabo Tonye Graham-Douglas a state burial.

“It is unfortunate. I asked him when Graham-Douglas was sick, where were you? This state government committed so much amount of money into making sure that Chief Alabo survived,” he said.
