“Be fair to Amaechi, or else Rivers will implode” – Group warns Wike

Rivers People’s Congress, an umbrella body of all ethnic, social and non governmental organisations in Rivers has warned Governor Nyesom Wike’s government  to be careful in his probe of the administration of former state governor, Chibuike Amaechi.

According to the group, Wike is hellbent on hanging on Amaechi, a picture of corruption in order to destroy his image.

The coordinator of the Congress, Ipinabo Chinda, released a statement to this effect on Friday, July 31.

“We, members of the Rivers People’s Congress, RPC, an umbrella organ of all ethnic, social and non governmental organizations in Rivers state, are alarmed at the information at our disposal which shows that there is concerted, on-going plot in the government of Chief Wike to rubbish the legacies of our former governor, Rt Hon Chibuike Amaechi, and to hang on him a corruption toga to make him ineligible for any future appointment by the Change touting government of President Muhammadau Buhari. The people of Rivers state will not accept this ungodly move and will definitely stand together and say NO to it.

“Indeed we are aware that some persons in government are dubiously collecting and fabricating documents to push out in the social media, in some international media and indeed in some  collaborating news media in Nigeria, that the Amaechi government, in which Chief Nyesom Wike played a very major role until they fell apart, and the person of Rotimi Amaechi, is corrupt. This is with the intent of colouring the public mind with a negative image of Rotimi Amaechi. We abhor this  in all its ramifications.

 

“We are bold to say that until a properly constituted body finds empirical cause to indict the person of our former governor Rotimi Amaechi, no one should descend to the cesspit of witch hunting, in an attempt to score cheap political victories.

“Already, there is massive restiveness which can easily lead to implosion in the state, if the Wike government does not thread softly the part of truth. We caution the Wike government to avoid this road to odium and toe the part of fairness, justice and truth.”
