Amaechi fires back: Wike also corrupt,
I won’t appear before his commission
Former Governor of Rivers State, Gov. Amaechi spoke,
yesterday, in Port Harcourt, while addressing loyalists of
the All Progressives Congress, APC that he was in the Rivers
State capital  to quietly attend a church program and will
leave same day, adding that he had clear documents
pointing at the alleged corruption acts of Governor Wike.
Amaechi vowed never to appear before  the Justice George
Omereji Commission of Inquiry investigating alleged sale
of  the assets of the state by his government, insisting that
the establishment of the commission did not comply with
constitutional provisions, that he will only appear before a
properly constituted commission in the state.
He said:
“I have been listening while in Abuja to  Nyesom
Wike accusing me of corruption and I laugh. Even
Nyesom Wike knows that I don’t like money, he
knows that”.
“The pressure Wike is putting on us is to let
somebody call us together to a meeting to withdraw
our case challenging his election from court.. The
party has a right to go to court. The law of Nigeria
says there is no independent candidate. Even if I,
Amaechi, Peterside withdraw, APC will carry on with
the case.
“The funny thing about the young man is that he
knows I know him. I was his governor, I have
documents to show that he is a contractor. I am not
a thief; so I don’t know what this young man is
talking about.”
The former governor, who accused INEC, SSS, Army and
militants of conniving to rob the APC of victory in the last
gubernatorial election in the state, said he and his party
will continue to fight until they get justice from the court.
