Amaechi, Wike abuse each other
The bad blood between former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi and his successor, Nyesome Wike is obviously still flowing strong.
Both men at the weekend threw caution to the wind and engaged in throwing abuses at each other at separate events, as Amaechi landed in the state from Abuja.
Ameachi, who is now Minister for Aviation, stated that Wike is in the state to steal, and that he would do anything for money, including “sell his own mother”.
While speaking on a radion interview in Port Harcourt, Amaechi said, “Nyesom Wike is here to steal money; he was my chief of staff. We will chase Wike’s boys out of the water now we have Dakuku Peterside as DG NIMASA. People still want me back as governor. I will be here till theMarch 19 re-run election; let’s see what Wike can do. Let’s face it man to man. If you see the money stolen by Nyesom Wike in the ministry of education you will be shocked.
“Every day you wake up to find out that Wike has killed somebody. Wike has collected N50bn; what has he done with the money? By this time when I was sworn in I was already commissioning projects. Wike is so desperate that he can sell his mother” Amaechi said.

On his part, Governor Wike said that Amaechi is a failed governor who needs urgent psychiatric evaluation and treatment, adding, that the former governor is monstrously corrupt, and that he will be prosecuted after his litigation on his indictment by the judicial Commission of Inquiry.
Speaking at the PDP Rivers West Senatorial District Campaign rally at Ahoada on Saturday, Governor Wike said that only a man with psychiatric disorder will compare his failed eight years in office to just eight months of the new administration.
According to him, Amaechi lacks proper parental upbringing hence his desperation in the political arena, adding, that the APC has refused to campaign for the rerun elections because they are relying on the military and security forces to rig.
“He is a psychiatric patient who was at the radio station abusing people who are old enough to be his fathers/mothers simply because his party lost at the Supreme Court.”
