Amaechi can continue to delude himself – Wike fires back‎ at Rivers governor

PORT HARCOURT (Sundiata Post) – The incoming governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike, has said the outgoing governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi is deluding himself by saying that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rigged the April 11 governorship election in the state.

In a statement made available to Sundiata Post and signed by Semeon Nwaka, the incoming governor’s media aide, Nwike said “It is sad that the outgoing governor of Rivers State,  Mr. Rotimi Amaechi continues to delude himself even at the last minute of his ill fated and non performing administration.  Having spent eight years thriving in lies and propaganda,  one would expect that Amaechi and his aides would have repented at this hour to merit the forgiveness he begged for before the crushing defeat his party suffered on April 11.
‎
“For the governor to claim in his press statement issued through his prime agent of false propaganda,  Ibim Semenitari that Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and the PDP stole the April 11 victory is driving false propaganda and self delusion to unimaginable level.

“By now, we expect that the governor and his aides would have recovered from the emotional trauma they suffered after they lost their bargaining chip in the emerging Federal Government,  with the exposure of their rejection occasioned by the overwhelming majority votes for the PDP in Rivers State.

“Despite  Amaechi’s media sponsored lies, INEC National Chairman,  Prof Attahiru Jega was emphatic on Rivers State Governorship election. Professor Jega stated that the allegation of irregularities during the election were duly investigated and found to be without merit. He went further to declare that those making the allegations never wanted the governorship election to hold.

“On the issue of seamless transition and inauguration of the incoming administration of Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike,  the lies of the outgoing administration and sponsored misrepresentation of facts will not stop the historic event.

“Semenitari failed to inform Nigerians who the members of the state government’s transition and inauguration committees are. She refused to inform the public  why Amaechi and his aides have been working against the successful inauguration of the next administration.

“While Amaechi is entitled to his self-praise, he must be reminded that he leaves the state government comatose.  There is no functional judiciary and the legislative arm has since been dismembered.  Even the executive arm of government is suffering from extreme malnutrition. Rivers people overwhelmingly voted for Barrister Wike to address these failures and he is duly equipped to deliver.

“Nigerians of goodwill know the truth about Rivers State.  The people of Rivers State have made their choice. Amaechi and his associates should accept the will of the people.

“It is necessary to reiterate that the incoming administration is focused on the process of rebuilding Rivers State. The era of meaningless propaganda,  sponsored with state resources is gone. Semenitari and her principal should respect the governor-elect and the mandate given to him by the people of Rivers State.

“The truth is simple.  No matter the tricks deployed by Amaechi,  on May 29,  Chief (Barrister) Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (CON) will take over governance to create a New Rivers State as demanded by the good people of Rivers State.”
