Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has blasted the Minister of Transport and former governor of the state,, Mr Rotimi Amaechi
“Former Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has a serious mental case. This is what makes it difficult for him to appreciate the seriousness of security issues”
“That is the kind of people that we have in the Federal Cabinet. With such people, it is impossible for the country to make progress. He needs urgent medical attention”
“Based on Amaechi’s logic, President Muhammadu Buhari needs to resign because of the nationwide breakdown of security. National security is the direct responsibility of the President”
“The false allegation by Rotimi Amaechi that I armed the perpetrators of the Omoku killings is ridiculous”
” I wondered why the Minister of Transportation would prefer to blame me for the killings in Omoku, while refusing to blame the APC governors of Lagos, Benue, Kwara and Kaduna States for killings in their states”
“The heads of security agencies in Rivers State are nominated by the Minister of Transportation. If there is any security infraction in Rivers State, the Minister should seek information from his nominees who serve as heads of security agencies.”
“Amaechi is the one who manipulates the posting of security heads to Rivers State using the Federal Government. They know what they are doing. If they are planning anything against Rivers State, they will not succeed”.
