Why I Don’t Like Mentioning Wike’s Name — Amaechi

Why I Don’t Like Mentioning Wike’s Name — Amaechi

 Speaking with Ebere TV, Amaechi noted that the FCT Minister passed through him when he was governor of the state.



Former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi has revealed why he doesn’t like mentioning the name of Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in public.

 

Recall that Wike was his successor after he left Rivers state as governor.

 

Speaking with Ebere TV, Amaechi noted that the FCT Minister passed through him when he was governor of the state.

 

He said: “When I became governor, Wike became Chief of Staff – but, I don’t like calling his name. Name any Rivers politician that didn’t pass through me.


“I joined politics at the age of 22 and there were two camps – Rufus George camp, poor and broke; we hardly had food to eat – Abule’s camp which was very rich and everybody was rushing to him.


“But those of us who bothered about character, because my father taught me character, stood with Rufus without knowing if we will win or not.


“And at the end of the day, God delivered us and we became government. He became governor and I became Special Assistant.


“The same thing with Odili, he didn’t have money but we stood with him because it’s about character. The crop of politicians then are different from what we have now.


“For anybody who passed through me, the first thing you learn is about honesty; if they are honest, then they have done well.”
