You sold our properties, everything. And people are talking in this state because of the government that says they are fighting corruption and protecting people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou (Amaechi) sold our property for $308million and kept for us $208,000. That is the kind of people parading themselves in government for a government that says they are fighting corruption, shame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor urged the people not to be deceived by the antics of the APC government, following the narrow gauge rail. He said the project was politically-motivated.<\/p>\n<p>Wike said: \u201cI heard people came to Rivers State to flag-off narrow gauge (rail) when the world is talking of standard gauge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat they are giving Rivers is narrow gauge because I challenged them: show us what you have done for the people of the state.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, what they will do is to come and say: \u2018okay, since you are complaining, let us give you that narrow gauge\u2019 instead of giving us the standard gauge to Maiduguri, and they are making noise about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTowards the end of their administration is when they come and tell us of narrow gauge railway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to finish the narrow gauge in 33 months. Will he be in power then? I am going to finish every project I have awarded, this government will finish it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor claimed that the proposed University of Transport in Ubima, Rivers State, was deceitful because Amaechi could not see the project through.<\/p>\n<p>According to Wike, Amaechi and his supporters are \u201csmall kids in politics\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey said we will not be governor, we taught them a lesson in politics. In 2015, they said over their dead will we be governor. I am looking for the dead body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2019 they said we will not be governor, that they are in power. I said you are not in power, God is in power. We defeated them. They are small kids in politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut let me warn the man who thinks he has President, soldiers, police. You should have learnt your lesson by now, that when God has left you there is nothing you can do again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the statements made by the governor, the main opposition party in the state, All Progressives Congress said\u00a0the governor talks before thinking and asked him to\u00a0prove his allegations in court.<\/p>\n<p>According to the party&#8217;s spokesman, Ogbonna Nwuke, it is not the first time that Wike will come up with such wild allegations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis man talks before he thinks and believes that because he is a governor and enjoys immunity he can say anything against anyone at any time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe person he is accusing of corruption had a clear agenda and Rivers people know. He had budgets that people could see. He had projects that went through due process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the one who is accusing him of corruption hides the budget of the people from the people. And he has the audacity to get into the public space to open his mouth and close as he likes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing Wike the way I know him right from the time we were appointed at the same time and we served the same government, the first time the EFCC came to Rivers State under the administration of Governor Rotimi Amaechi it was because of Wike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he says Amaechi is corrupt he should go to court. Is the court also protecting Amaechi from prosecution? He set up the Omereji committee, what did the committee find? Nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYet he continues to parrot his mouth saying anything he likes. Let him go to court and prove it. He is the Head of the government\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Nyesom Wike and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State have traded words over the alleged diversion of $308million by his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi.
