Wike Can't Stay Without Thinking Of Me ~Amaechi

 
The Minister of Transportation and former Rivers State governor,  Rt. Hon. Chibuike, Rotimi Amaechi has described governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike to be one of his sons that always thinks of him.

Speaking on a live Television programme yesterday, Amaechi said Wike`s only agenda is “Amaechi”, adding that the Rivers governor thinks of him every minute of the day even in his toilet.
Recall, Amaechi governed Rivers State between 2007 and 2015, before handing over to Wike.

Both men who are of Ikwerre, one of the ethnic groups in the state, fell out after Amaechi parted ways with former President Goodluck Jonathan and led a campaign which removed the former government at the federal level.

Earlier, the minister noted that Wike is like one of his sons, as well denied having any rift with the Rivers governor. According to him, "The governor has just one agenda – if he is in his toilet, ‘Amaechi’; if he is outside his toilet, ‘Amaechi’,” the minister said.
“He (Wike) was my staff; he is like one of my sons.
“Why should I engage him? He was a local government chairman when I was the speaker of the state.”

The minister however stated that his impact as the then governor 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 They are no longer maintained.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.”##

Man lauds Prof Brambaifa led NDDC board, calls for total support

A top public analyst, Inengite Jackson has lauded the acting managing director of Niger Delta Development Commission led by Prof. Nelson Brambaifa for their performance in the past five months in office. Here is his full write ups "ARISE BAYELSANS, LET OUR ENEMIES BE SCATTERED. This is a clarion call on Ijaw people, especially, all Bayelsans to speak in one voice irrespective of political affiliation. We have a reputation for pulling down our own just like a mother hen that eats her own eggs. That is not something good about a people.  Since NDDC was created, this is the second time a Bayelsan would be occupying the exalted position of Managing Director, even though on Acting capacity. Sadly and typical of us, the attempt to pull down the Prof. Nelson Brambaifa led board is coming from no other quarters than from fellow Bayelsans. May I ask, are we cursed to fight ourselves all the time even when other ethnic groups stand to benefit from such fights? In just 5 months s...
