Minister of Transportation,
Rotimi Amaechi, has asked Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike to resign from
office.
His call followed the New Year
tragedy that occurred in the state.
Gunmen opened fire on people
returning from church in the early hours of Monday
Amaechi said Governor Wike has
allegedly been encouraging militant groups because of politics and election,
adding that it was high time he acted on the oath he swore to protect lives and
property.
“I think the governor needs to
get a bit more serious, he should stop encouraging the militant groups in the
name of politics and election. You heard about 21 only in Omoku, what about in
Akutoru where two persons were killed, what about other LGA.
“I think there should be much
more than age to qualify to be a governor because it takes much more than age.
“I was governor of Rivers State,
I did not play PDP/APC politics, life is life it has no symbol. Nobody has APC
life or PDP life.
“The first responsibility of a
governor which is what the oath of office requires, is that you swear to
protect lives and property. When you don’t protect life and property what do
you do? Is impeachment. Unfortunately there is no House of Assembly in Rivers
State,” Ameachi said.
