Rivers State
Governor and Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential
Campaign, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday at a praise and worship session organized
by the Ikwerre Youth Movement and Ikwere Women Forum at Isiokpo accussed the
PDP governorship candidate, Chief Nyesom Wike of giving $1m (N199m) monthly to
the wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan. He said the reason for this payment is for
Wike to remain in the good books of the first lady.
The governor
said, “Do you know that the PDP governorship candidate, Nyesom Wike, has been
giving one million dollars monthly to the wife of the President, Mrs Patience
Jonathan? He has been doing this to gain political favour in the Presidency and
to retain the favour.
“For eight
years, our Okrika brother (Senator George Sekibo) has been occupying the senate
(Rivers East) seat and now it is the turn of an Ikwerre son, but Nyesom Wike
has gone ahead to accept another four years for George Thompson Sekibo. This is
not acceptable, Chief Andrew Uchendu will take over this time, one man called
Nyesom Wike cannot sell Ikwerre birth right.”
He also
accused Wike of sponsoring the killing of an APC member, who was shot dead recently
in the home town of the PDP candidate, saying the police had been biased and
could not arrest the PDP hoodlums who committed the murder.
Reacting,
Wike, who spoke through his media aide, Mr. Simeon Nwakudu, described Amaechi’s
allegation as false and asked him (Amaechi) to respond to the allegations of
corruption against him.
