“I was a minister. As I sit here I can count what I brought as Minister of State to Rivers. So you were the main minister of the lucrative ministry. What did you bring to Rivers? Not one thing, not one.”
These are the words of the Rivers State Governor, Nyeson Wike as he lambasted former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, saying he brought ‘nothing’ to the state while in office.
According to him, when he was Minister (of Education), he made his impact felt.
Wike said this while while signing more contracts agreement with Julius Berger, including for two new flyovers.
He had exploited the opportunity to also sell the candidacy of Sim Fubara, PDP’s governorship standard bearer in next year’s election, “It is certain Fubara is the next governor. He is taking over from me. It is PDP that will win the state.
“All who want to run in other parties I wish them bad luck. I don’t understand why they would want to waste their money on running for governorship in this state. What will they tell the people?

“Now they removed you. You now want to come and bring somebody as governor. It will not happen.
“Rivers people will not take it. We won’t agree. God has been on our side and I know God will continue to be on our side.”
