Wike Is Faking Documents To Nail Me- Amaechi

The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi
has said the new governor of the state is doing all his best to nail him by
going as far as trying to produce fake documents just to have ‘valid’ evidence
against him. Ameachi went on to say the only thing Wike has done since he got into
power three weeks ago is that, he has been ringing his name to every media
outfit just to make headlines. He also slammed his then deputy for being a
betrayer and now pitching his tent with Wike Nyesom. Below is a press statement
released by his media office today.

“This so called Wike’s probe of Amaechi is dead on arrival.
All the noise Wike is making is to grab media headlines with his lies of
monumental corruption against Amaechi. It’s all drama made for the media. What
is playing out is a script written and directed by Nyesom Wike. Wike should
move to Nollywood where his devious skills would probably be useful.”

“Even while inaugurating his yeoman commission of Inquiry,
Wike could not conceal his vendetta agenda. He was clear to the panel members
that their job is to indict Amaechi.”

“While it’s no longer in doubt what would be the report of
Wike’s sham probe commission. What may shock Nigerians is the extent Wike has
gone and is ready to go to manufacture stories of corrupt practices, and the
kind of bogus tales of corruption against Amaechi that he would soon be feeding
the nation.”

“We are aware that even the Chairman of his Inquiry
Commission, was shocked and protested when Wike gave him the litany of phony
claims of corruption against Amaechi that the chairman would write in the
panel’s report. But Wike had assured him not to worry that he had since been
working towards arriving at that conclusion and he would provide the commission
with all the (fake) evidence needed to arrive at that report.”

“Truly, since May 29, that is all Wike has been doing;
cooking spurious reports of corruption against Amaechi. Wike has been
intimidating, threatening, coercing and blackmailing officials of the past
administration, especially civil servants into making false, phony and bogus
statements that would make legitimate government transactions appear as corrupt
practices. Permanent Secretaries, Directors of Finance and Administration
(DFAs), the State bankers and even contractors are harassed, threatened and
blackmailed to twist and distort, or even completely alter legitimate
government transactions in his desperation to cook up, and fabricate sham cases
of corruption against Amaechi. This has been the one-point agenda of the Wike
government, a vendetta mission against his former boss and benefactor.”

“Amaechi will use every constitutional and legal means
available to protect his name and image from this massive smear campaign,
State-sponsored onslaught against him by this directionless, purposeless Wike
led government. As governor, Amaechi served his people well and the good things
he did with the resources of the state are visible all over the state.”

On the claims by his former deputy, Tele Ikuru while
presenting a report to Wike, the statement condemned Mr. Ikuru.

“We won’t dignify him with a response. He’s such a worthless
piece of trash that we won’t waste our energy on. This is a man with no
dignity, no shame. No self-respecting man would talk the way Ikuru is talking
right now. This is a character that served the Amaechi administration for
almost eight years. While he was there, he never for once complained that
Amaechi or the government that he was the second-in-command was corrupt. As a
matter of fact, he was singing and parroting everywhere that Rivers State was
truly blessed to have a governor like Amaechi, that Amaechi will always be
remembered and hailed for changing for good the fortunes of Rivers State.”

“Today, the shameless clown is the one shouting Amaechi is
corrupt, everywhere. If the government was as corrupt as he claims, what was he
doing there for almost eight years, telling the world that Amaechi is the best
thing to happen to Rivers State? No character, no self-respect, no dignity, no
shame. A character like Ikuru should never be taken seriously”, the statement
concluded.
