“People gave you opportunity. You sold our properties, everything. And people are talking in this state because of the government that says they are fighting corruption and protecting people. You (Amaechi) sold our property for $308m and kept for us $208m.”
“That is the kind of people parading themselves in government, for a government that says they are fighting corruption, shame.”
– Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state
WIKE WAS MY STAFF, I CAN’T BRING MYSELF LOW BY DISCUSSING ABOUT HIM
– Amaechi
“I didn’t say that (Wike is a drunkard), that will be disrespectful of a governor; I only say that I don’t make statements under the influence of alcohol. Some people are attaching meaning to what I say.”
“I don’t think I want to address the issue of the governor, I have made my point, I have moved on. He was my staff, I can’t bring myself low. I was a governor, I was also a speaker, I’m a minister. I was two-term chairman of governors’ forum. The same when I was a speaker. Why should I be discussing about him (Wike)?”
– Former Governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation; Rotimi Amaechi
