Rivers people want to blackmail me – Amaechi cries out


My anger is that in Rivers they know I don’t like money. And I expect them to defend me that I don’t like money - Amaechi

Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, has accused his successor, Nyesom Wike, of leading people of the state to blackmail him.

Amaechi noted that since Wike and members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are jittery that his appointment will be the main determinant of the state politics, they have moved to tarnish his image in the eyes of President Muhammadu Buhari, who detests corruption.

The ex-governor spoke at a reception organized in his honour in Abuja Sunday night.


He said, “Let me tell you what is currently going on in Rivers State. The governor and PDP are afraid of me getting an appointment to the national executive council because that will determine what the politics of Rivers State will be.

“And they know that the current President abhors corruption and the only way they can stop me from getting the appointment is to paint me with corruption. And the people that know me in Rivers State know that I don’t like money. But I am not angry with them. My anger is that in Rivers they know I don’t like money. And I expect them to defend me that I don’t like money.”

The same Wike, according to Amaechi, who used to advise him that merely executing project without wasting money on people would not earn him a second term in office, has sponsored newspapers’ adverts to rubbish his reputation.

Amaechi added: “Governor Nyesome Wike has again sponsored one advert in a bid to rubbish me. He will go and publish in the paper on Monday as advert. Only God knows that if there is one thing I don’t like, I don’t like money. Anybody close to me knows that I don’t like money. Even Nyesom Wike told me you will not win second term if you don’t use money. So all this wasted projects will not deliver us. And I said let us do it once and for all.”

  5. You have successfully said nothing meaningful. What do you mean by "I don't like money"? Under you rivers state became highly indebted to Nigerian commercial banks despite the very huge federal allocations, derivation funds, IGR and so on that you got. You even sold all the major assets of rivers state..leaving only liabilities EG the monorail as your landmark achievement. Amaechi, for the evil you have done to rivers state, you will reap a hundred fold. Posterity will see you through your federal appointment. Rivers state will definitely watch you crumble.

  9. What goes around always comes around. Rotinmeat Amaechi, this is just the beginning of tasting your own medicine. By the time you finish chewing on the medicine you have prepared for others over the years, nah your body go tell you which kind of person you have been since your childhood. If Buhari knows what kind of person you had been since your childhood until now as I know, he will not let get anywhere near Aso Rock gate. And Dr. Peter Odili would never have allowed you to carry his hand bag at PAMO clinic. My advice to you would be for you to shut your mouth so we won't remember that you existed in any form or shape in government.
