Wike Accuses Amaechi Of Circulating His Governorship Posters

The Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, has accused Amaechi of being responsible for the circulation of posters bearing his photograph and name for the 2015 governorship election in the state.

In a statement signed by Wike’s Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu, the minister said, “It is unfortunate that Governor (Rotimi) Amaechi and his allies are still playing an uncivilised and vengeful politics, using primitive tactics in trying to destroy someone who is building a united, peaceful and progressive Rivers State.”

Reacting to the allegation that the Amaechi administration was responsible for the circulation of the Wike’s posters, the Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Mr. Tony Okocha, said the governor had no hand in such act.

Okocha said, “A man who is busy setting up campaign outfits cannot pretend not to be aware that his overzealous supporters are responsible for the circulation of his governorship posters.

“A man who was declared the next governor of the state during an event in Ahoada East and he did not refute it should know the real source of the posters.

“Those supporting him (Wike) are overzealous and are doing this to impress him. We are too busy to be involved in such an inconsequential act.”
