The former governor of the Rivers state Rotimi Amaechi has continued the war of words with the incumbent leader of the state Nyesom Wike.
Amaechi, who is the minister of transport, has blamed ex-president Goodluck Jonathan for hating the people of Rivers state.

The minister said: “Jonathan hated Rivers people so much that ordinary $1bn to clean up Ogoni land, he refused to pay.”

“Nyesom Wike is here to steal money, he was my chief of staff. We will chase Wike’s boys out of the water now we have Dakuku Peterside as DG NIMASA. People still want me back as governor. I will be here till the March 19 re-run election; let’s see what Wike can do. Let’s face it man to man.
“If you see the money stolen by Nyesom Wike in the ministry of education you will be shocked. Everyday you wake up to find out that Wike has killed somebody.”
“Wike has collected N50bn; what has it done with the money?”
“By this time when I was sworn in I was already commissioning projects. Wike is so desperate that he can sell his mother. On the day of the re-run I am ready for Wike, they should come out with their guns, we are ready for them.”
Governor Wike immediately reacted to the words of Amaechi.
He stated that his predecessor is monstrously corrupt adding that only a man with psychiatric disorder will compare his failed eight years in office to just eight months of the new administration.
Wike said Amaechi failed in his eight as the state chief executive. According to him, ex-governor lacks proper parental upbringing hence his desperation in the political arena.

“He is a psychiatric patient who was at the radio station abusing people who are old enough to be his fathers/mothers simply because his party lost at the Supreme Court.
“We will defeat Amaechi again and again. No matter the deployed to Rivers State, the PDP we will all the seats .
“Only yesterday, I intercepted the communication of the DSS director and the Brigade commander where they were planning on the ways of rigging the election alongside Amaechi. That plot has failed.
“Amaechi lacks sound parental upbringing. He has vindicated us when he said that he has been given the army to rig the rerun elections. I know the Chief of Army staff very well. He should not allow a psychiatric patient to use the army to rig.
“Is Amaechi now the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces that he talks about deploying soldiers? Our people will rise up to defend their votes. They will make the needed sacrifices their votes”, Governor Wike said.
The main electoral body of Nigeria had initially fixed both rerun elections tentatively for February 6, 2016 through the outgoing Resident Electoral Commissioner of the state, Dame Gesila Khan.
However, the state INEC public relations officer, Antonia Nwobo, said signals about the change in the date for the exercise came after a stakeholders’ meeting at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
