‘You spent N30billion on APC campaign’ | ‘You’ve got no proof’ – Amaechi & Wike are at it again

by Azubuike Azikiwe

 

The political feud between Rivers state Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Nyesom Wike, may just not abate anytime soon.

The recent allegations by the latter against the former, will certainly elongate the lifespan of their rivalry.

Wike, a former Minister of State for Education, has accused Amaechi of spending N30bn to finance the presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress.

During his thank-you visit to Ikwerre Local Government Area on Thursday, December 25, Wike stated that it had become impossible for the state government to pay workers’ salaries, because the governor was using state resources to fund the APC.

Wike said: “Do you know why workers’ salaries have not been paid? Amaechi spent N30bn in funding the presidential campaign of the APC. They (the APC leadership) allowed him to spend the money and later, they called him mugu (fool).”

“They (the APC leadership) said we will not make this ‘boy’ who does not respect the President (Goodluck Jonathan) the vice president. We should know that our future is in the PDP and not the APC.”

Meanwhile, the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, has reacted to Wike’s claims, saying that the PDP governorship candidate spoke without fact, adding that he should show any proof that Amaechi was funding the APC.

“It is unbelievable that a man who wants to be the governor of this state can make such an unbelievable statement without any proof. We challenge him (Wike) to show proof that Governor Amaechi spent N30bn to fund the APC campaign.”
