Explaining why he became a target of opposition from some politicians in and outside the state, Amaechi said almost 80 per cent of those fighting him are people he gave billions of naira in contracts and they put the money in their pockets without delivering.
The governor said: “I have said that the road at Eneka was given to an Obio/Akpor son. The internal road at Rumuolumeni was given to a Rumuolumeni son. They gave it to one of Obio/Akpor sons to do. They have not done it. They have no fear, no shame. You know, the worst money to steal is the money belonging to your people.
“All the roads in Rumuepirikom were done by this administration. I gave the contracts to your son and paid 100 per cent. But almost all the roads there have gone bad and they are not major traffic route. It is because of greed.”
According to Daily Sun report, the governor described his opposition as liars and they lie a lot, urging the people to ask his opposition to show them the property he acquired in his eight years as speaker and seven years as governor.
He however thanked the people of the community for the opportunity of meeting with them, asking them to beware of dishonest and selfish people.
