How Amaechi tried to truncate my political career, worked against my confirmation as minister – Wike

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has recalled the battles he fought in his political career leading to his emergence as a local government chairman, minister and eventually as governor.

Speaking at the first convocation ceremony of the PAMO University of Medical Sciences over the weekend, the governor narrated how he was fought to the Supreme Court to secure his ticket as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for Obio Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers state after attempts were made to deny him the ticket at the time when Uche Secondus was the state chairman of the party.

The governor also recalled that the primaries for the election were cancelled three times before his eventual victory.

“To become the chairman of Obio-Akpor Local Government Council, I had to fight and fight up to Supreme Court to recover my right to contest the election under the ticket of People’s Democratic Party which I was denied by the powers that be after I had resoundingly won the primary.

“Again I had to sur three cancellations and repeated party primaries for me to earn the returned ticket as chairman under the former National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus,” he said.

Governor Wike also alleged that the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Ameachi, who had nominated him for appointment as minister worked so hard to truncate his confirmation by the National Assembly.

“He, therefore, worked twice as hard behind the scene to truncate my confirmation by the Nigerian Senate but failed because God said otherwise,” he revealed.

Wike further recalled the fight between him and his predecessor who he said was against his governorship ambition.

“And when he noticed my mission to succeed him as the governor of Rivers State, he immediately drew the battle line and vowed that I could only succeed him over his dead body. Our contest was intense ultimately I won and prevailed over them”.

“I wouldn’t have wished anyone dead for my political ambition, I wanted him to live to see the glory of the Lord in my life and how God will use me in advancing the development of the state and the nation as Governor of Rivers State,” he added.

Just as Bubu will handover to Tinubu as a grateful man.

Pesin wey Ameachi no send dey kill himself over Rotimi matta.

Typical PDP Dundee, always illogical.


He nominated you and immediately began working against your confirmation!



Wike must think everyone's brain has been looted by his Poverty Development Party.

Emperor Wike!!!

We are not all dullards.

You mean that Amaechi nominated you for a ministerial appointment and then worked to truncate your appointment?

Think your words through before you talk nah

One thing I can't do is to stop my fellow man in a contest, rather I will buckle my belt and lace my shoe.

Abgero leave Ameachi alone

Noted.

Story for the gods

The political fight is beginning to commence

Wike wiped Ameachi,
Ameachi weep for Wike wipe

These guys are old friends right from their youthful age, they've set out to become political giants, which they achieve. I just can't comprehend why they fight each other.
This politics eh, every man for himself. No permanent friend,no permanent enemy.

I won't be surprised if at the end of their days, they'll celebrate how they both control rivers state one from PDP and other from APC. Actually these guys own the state.

Amaechi gives you relevance

The lion of ubima is living rent free in wike's modula oblongata

The way you are also truncating others

If I see wike, I see cultism raise to power 5 and I don't know why

You wanted him to live! Like you had an option to eliminate him.smh

No dey talk like say you know when you no know. Wike was the reason Ameachi was governor in the first place.

Who made Amaechi governor?

The only thing ameachi did, which in my opinion was right, was when he said the next gov should come from the riverine. What wike said is a slap on the face of the wetland area of rivers state. Amaechi did not fight a personal fight rather he fought for equity.

Funniest thing is, Amaechi will never respond to this power drunk Wike.
