Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi has stated that Governor Nyesom Wike would not be River’s state governor come 2019.
He made this statement at a grand reception for him and the Director-General of NIMASA, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, in the state on Friday, April 6.
Amaechi said that he was confident that the people of Rivers state would make the right choice and vote out Wike who he accused of failing the state and its people.
“You must start mobilising now. You have not shown enough anger. You must show enough anger to chase him out of power. Show enough anger, such that if anybody warns you, you should chase the person out of Opobo.” he said
“When Ikwerre people wanted to produce governor (in 2007), they came together, were united and said they wanted governorship of Rivers state, not one of our (Ikwerre) chiefs escaped. If you (people of Opobo/Nkoro LGA) do not get governorship of Rivers state (in 2019), blame your chiefs.
“When things were extremely bad with me, Dr. Sam Sam Jaja (indigene of Opobo) was behind me. Not politics. He (Jaja) will agree that I introduced him to major politics. I was hungry, I had a wife and children, but no money to survive then as a young man, but Dr. Sam Sam Jaja stood firmly behind me,” Amaechi said.
