Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has said Rivers governor, Nyesom Wike thinks about him even “in the toilet.”

Amaechi said this when he featured on Question Time, a programme on Channels Television.

“The governor has just one agenda – if he is in his toilet, ‘Amaechi’; if he is outside his toilet, ‘Amaechi’,” the minister said.

He also described him as “one of his sons.”

“He (Wike) was my staff; he is like one of my sons,” Amaechi said.

“Why should I engage him? He was local government chairman when I was the speaker of the state.”

Amaechi said his impact is still being felt in the state, particularly in the education sector.

“When I was governor, I used Rivers state’s money on projects in the state. If you visit the state, you will see the primary schools that we built. No matter what the governor does, the projects are there,” he said.

“I hired 13,200 teachers who are alive, I established primary schools, the primary schools are there. They are no longer maintained. When I was there, I appointed a contractor whose responsibility was to come to school like the children.”
