Amaechi stated this on Sunday at an APC rally in Rumueme, Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, ahead of the state and national assembly elections on Saturday.
“Wike lacks the capacity to govern. Somebody who just knows how to steal
money is a bushman,” Amaechi said.
He referred to Wike’s accusations against him, Wike said, I am corrupt,
he should bring evidence to show. I will bring evidence to show that Wike is
corrupt. Wike did the Rukpoku/Eneka road during my tenure and did not complete
it. I gave Wike the contracts to do all the roads around Aristle House (a hotel
in GRA) but he failed to do them, I gave him 14 schools to give to Obio/Akpor
people, he stole them; he lacks character.”
Also speaking on the security situation in the state, Amaechi said,
“When I was the governor, one thing that I kept thinking of was how to chase
these criminals away but under Nyesom Wike, he meets with them. If Wike does
not secure you people, the federal government will secure you. If he doesn’t
want to be ignored, he should go and secure you people because the federal
government will no longer tolerate these killings in Rivers State.
Amaechi further told his supporters not to be intimidated by Wike’s
threats and come out to vote APC at Saturday’s election.
“Saturday is your day, come out and vote.They will no longer have the
police they had, they will no longer have the army they had, we pray that INEC
should be neutral, your job is to match out and vote for APC, we will not write
results like Nyesom Wike, so go back to your wards and do door to door.”
Also, in Akuku/Toru local government area, Amaechi told his party
supporters to be courageous in exercising their franchise without fear of
intimidation
“You see, it is not enough to provide security because if there are no
votes we will lose, the implication, therefore, is that all of you must come
out and vote for APC so that we will win the election.”,he said.
Amaechi had earlier paid condolence to the family of slain APC stalwart,
Mr. Ofirite Amachree, who was killed and burnt beyond recognition by unknown
gunmen in Buguma.
Amaechi has also pledged to assist families of slain All Progressives
Congress (APC) members in Omoku, Ogba, Egbema/Ndoni local government area of
Rivers state.
The late Frankline Obi was the APC chairman of ward 4 and was killed and
beheaded by unknown gunmen alongside his pregnant wife and son while late
Chukwuladi Adiela was an APC stalwart of ward 14.
Addressing the deceased families, the Minister said, “The President is
aware of the death of your son who was our party ward chairman. I personally
gave him the photograph of the beheaded body. Everybody must learn to give an
account of their action or inaction in Omoku. We can’t have police and be
experiencing this kind of thing. Internal security is the responsibility of the
police so if we have police and keep experiencing this in Omoku it means the
police in Rivers State has failed, and the people that are been killed are
mostly APC members,” he said.
Amaechi also told the bereaved families that the president was aware of
the killings in Omoku and promised that full investigation will be carried out
to unravel the killers.
