Wike Says Amaechi Once Credited Him for His Return as Rivers Governor

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says Rotimi Amaechi once testified in church that Wike played a key role in his return as Rivers State governor. Speaking at his monthly media chat, Wike rejected Amaechi’s reported description of him as a former subordinate. He said the issue was not about hierarchy but about the role he played during Amaechi’s political crisis. Wike also accused the former Rivers governor of spending $10 million on fumigation, allocating $39 million to a hospital he said was never built, and mismanaging proceeds from the sale of gas turbines. These allegations were made by Wike and were not independently verified in the statement.
