Gov Amaechi Is Afraid That He Will Be Arrested After Jonathan’s Victory –Wike
The supervising Minister of Education, Chief Nyeson Wike on Friday said that the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, would be arrested after the
declaration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as President in 2015.
Wike explained that the Port Harcourt International Airport would be
shut, including land and sea borders in the state to prevent the
governor from escaping.
The minister spoke in Port Harcourt at the inauguration and handing
over of 25 buses to the 23 local government chapters of the Peoples
Democratic Party in the state.
He pointed that the governor was planning to run away after his
tenure in 2015, adding that the governor and his cohorts will not
succeed.
Making reference to the approval given by the State House of Assembly
for the governor to withdraw the sum of N30bn from the State Reserve
Fund, Wike added that Amaechi and his cohorts would account for the
state fund they have been spending.
“They can sit in Government House and approve whatever amount of
money they like for Governor Amaechi to spend. But let me tell you all
now, Governor Amaechi and his friends will account for all the monies
that they are appropriating and spending now.”
“Once the Independent National Electoral Commission announces the
victory of President Jonathan, we will immediately shut down the Port
Harcourt International Airport and all land and sea borders in Rivers
State to prevent Governor Amaechi from escaping.
“Does he (Amaechi) think we don’t know that he is planning to run
away? But he and his cohorts will not succeed. All they can do
thereafter is to lock themselves inside the Government House and at the
appropriate time, we will go there and pick them up one after the other.
“Believe me; Governor Amaechi will surely account for all our
monies that he is frittering away now. We will not allow the looters of
our treasury to run away from justice,” the minister said.
Wike, however, noted that no amount of humiliation from the governor
or his agents would stop the PDP from winning the 2015 general election
in Rivers State.
On Amaechi’s claim that Wike swore with the names of his (Wike)
children that he would not betray him (Amaechi) if the governor
nominated him for ministerial appointment, Wike said Amaechi was afraid
of everybody.
He said, “Amaechi is afraid. We will not beg him. Why is Amaechi
afraid of everybody? He is afraid that the Speaker of the House of
Assembly will betray him; he is afraid that the Chief Judge recommended
by the National Judicial Council will betray him. Why is Amaechi afraid
of everybody? When did Amaechi become an oracle or priest that everybody
will now make an appearance (before)to swear?”
In his remark, the Deputy National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche
Secondus, described the governor as a temporary occupant of the
Government House and added that the PDP would not allow him to choose
his successor in 2015.
According to Secondus, “Rivers State is PDP and Governor Amaechi
cannot go against the wishes of the people. He has taken all our money
to Lagos to develop the All Progressives Congress.”
