Amaechi’s Probe By Wike Laughable – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as laughable the decision of Rivers State Governor, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike, to probe the administration of his predecessor, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi.


Wike had last Friday inaugurated a seven-man Judicial Commission of Inquiry (JCI), chaired by a judge of the State High Court, Justice George Emereji, with a directive to investigate the administration of Amaechi and report back in one month.


But, chairman of APC in the state, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Sunday, and signed by his media aide, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, said, “This is, at best, a fruitless and laughable venture; a wild goose chase.”


Ikanya noted that the former governor ran a transparent administration and made it a habit to render account of his stewardship to Rivers people almost on a quarterly basis throughout his eight years in office as governor.

He said, “Only a mischievous and treacherous person like Wike would, therefore, start sniffing the ground in a bid to find out if Rt. Hon. Amaechi soiled his hands while carrying out his functions as the Governor of Rivers State.”


The APC chairman noted that the party is aware that Wike’s desperate efforts to bring down Amaechi and rubbish his good name despite all his feats as state governor are aimed to stop President Muhammadu Buhari from appointing him into his cabinet.


Ikanya said, “One thing Chief Wike and his evil collaborators fail to understand is that President Buhari knows the politics of Rivers State as he knows his fingers. President Buhari is fully aware that Amaechi and his associates are being viciously persecuted by Wike because he engineered the ouster of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as the President of Nigeria and the election of President Buhari.


“Apart from the above, Chief Wike is embarking upon this worthless vindictive venture knowing very well that he will soon be ignominiously sacked by the Election Petition Tribunal since he never won election but was imposed by Rivers INEC in collaboration with the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”
