Nigeria’s Rivers State government has described the allegation made by governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP Chief Nyesom Wike, accusing Governor Chibuike Amaechi of spending N30 billion on General Muhammadu Buhari campaign as baseless and unintelligent.
Mrs Ibim Semenitari, the Commissioner for Information and Communications while denying the allegation regretted that a man who is aspiring to be the Governor of the state could post such a blatant falsehood .
She challenged Wike to back up his allegations with proof because, according her,”There are certain statements that are unbelievable. With the present allocation President Jonathan is giving to us,that amount equals three months allocation. Is that what Wike says we spent for General Buhari’s primary when Governor Amaechi was not even a contestant.?”
Semenitari said that the state government would not dignify unintelligent talk with responses. But it would respond to intelligent talk.
“We challenge Wike to show proof of how the state government spent 30 billion naira on APC primary.We will not react to stupid conjecturing.”
Wike had alleged that Governor Amaechi was deceived by the leadership of the APC on spending the state fund on Buhari, with hope that he would be chosen as the vice president.
Wike made the allegations during his “thank-you” visit to the people of Ikwerre held in Omagwa, Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.
Wike claimed that after Amaechi had allegedly spent 30 billion naira on APC primary,the leaders of the party said they will not make this ‘boy’ who does not respect the President (Jonathan) the Vice president
Wike meanwhile revealed that the PDP has chosen a woman to be his running mate, adding that she would be unveiled on Tuesday.
He urged the Ikwerre people to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan, saying APC was not the hope of Nigerians.
The governorship flagbearer stated that the legacies Governor Amaechi-led Government had bequeathed to Rivers people were closure of the judiciary, House of Assembly, monorail and the N50 billion Karibi-Whyte Hospital.
Wike promised the people that, if voted as governor in 2015, he would review the economic value of their lands acquired by the state government for the Greater Port Harcourt City (GPH)project, which is one of the cardinal projects of Amaechi administration aimed at decongesting Port Harcourt,the state capital.

Wike maybe a thug a bad choice for governor and as bad a Ameachi or worse I belive what he said is true.
ReplyDeleteHe has been asked to provide proof, but without proof, you would still go ahead and believe him.
DeleteProvide proof is the language of a thief. He thinks he was able to cover up and that is why he is asking for proof.
DeleteWith all the money in the federation account stolen by Jonathan and his agent like Wike is it possible for Rivers government to have that kind of money to spent just on presidential primaries?.Wike is a tug and any vote for him and his stealing principal is a waste.
DeletePlease always tell your friend, Mr. Nyeson Wike to think before he talks. I dont know why he keeps making a big fool of himself. Do you know what N30 billion is? This man is just a block head. Is this just for wining mouth sake. Just talking like his madam, Patience. These are just two of a kind.
DeleteYes o is true dats y we no longer see development in rivers state againm pls learn frm our past governors, like ibori and odili.
ReplyDeleteWhy wont u believe when u are anti APC.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 4:03. You must be the most stupid and idiotic person on earth. Just because some daft says you are a bastard child, you run straight to your mother to kill her without asking first asking the lier to provide proof or evidence?.... How did you pass your common entrance exams?
ReplyDeleteDo not take these things too personal. There is freedom of speech unless you and Buhari are planning to take that away
Delete@8:40. It's people like you that hold nigeria back. Do you know what it means to freelying speak?
DeleteThis guy is really unintelligent. Just look at his allegations. Moron of the highest order.
ReplyDeleteIt is only a fool that will take Wike serious.
ReplyDeleteDon't take him serious then. A man who is one step away from being a governor as thuggish as he is.
DeleteWith al the pains been afflicted on Nigetia and Nigerians by the present government , pls can't we for ones besensible. For how long will it take us to come back to our senses. PDP has been in-charge for more than 16 years now with nothing to show for it on mases rather corruptoon galore. Pls letus all embrace a change .
ReplyDeleteA thief cometh to steal, kill and to destroy. Anyone who calls someone a thief without a proof is also a thief who has come to kill and destroy image and character of another person.
ReplyDeleteMost of u APC charlatans, have not been to rivers state, Rivers state is one of the richest state in Nigeria yet it is under-developed. Questions u should be asking is where is all the allocations they receive? Why are workers salaries not being paid? Why is rivers state under developed compared to Cross river, Akwa ibom, Bayelsa, Lagos, Delta and Edo states?
ReplyDeleteWike knows what he is saying, Amaechi is going to account for all the money he has received for 8yrs.
Am disappointed in rivers state government for just knowing how unintelligent Wike is, each time l listen to that guy, l kept on asking how on earth did this guy manage to be a minister. Lack of intellect shows in every words that flies out of his mouth
ReplyDeleteRotimi told us that they steal because no body question them. Now wike have catch and confronted you. You shouldn't be dancing chief priest azonto trying to escape. Bloodily diabolical bomgo leaders indeed. Shame shame shame................
