Probe: Amaechi dares Wike, says don’t forget I know you

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State says he is not afraid of his administration being probed by incoming governor, Nyesom Wike, he only wants Wike to know that he (Amaechi) also has records of his (Wike) who was one timehis a chief of staff.

He said, “I heard that Wike says he will probe me. I have not asked him not to probe me. He should remember that he was my Chief of Staff for four years; I have my records on him. He should go ahead,” he said.

Amaechi who said this on Tuesday in Port Harcourt during a programmes organised by Committee of Friends to mark his 50th birthday, noted, that he did not use his tenure to probe the past administration in the state, as such exercise might be a waste of time and resources.

He explained that the people of the state would not applaud him on the basis of how many people he had probed but for his accomplishments in office.

“Go and check, the road leading to Wike’s father’s house, I constructed it. But in front of that same house, a relation of mine was killed on election day,” he added.
