Governor Ezenwo Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has
insisted that his resolve to probe the immediate
past administration of Hon. Rotimi Amaechi was
not a vindictive exercise but one that is motivated
by the need to shed light on some grey areas.
The Governor, who stated this while exchanging
views with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday,
revealed that the recommendation of the probe
panel would determine the cause of action to be
taken against Amaechi. This was as he did not
foreclose the possibility of handing over the
findings of the judicial panel of inquiry to anti-
graft agencies.

His words, “The essence of the judicial
commission does not have to do with witch-
haunting anybody, but to understand things we
could not have understood.

“If he had worked with the transition committee we
set up, the committee would have asked one or
two questions. No transition committee was set
up by government (Amaechi’s administration).

“It is only our state that never had any transition
committee. We set up our own transition
committee. It made every communication; it wrote.
They did not cooperate with it,” he stated.

While accusing his predecessor of merely trying to
use the media to divert attention from the probe of
his activities while in office, the Governor posited:
“He (Amaechi) said he would use all constitutional
and legal means. The commission is not an
unconstitutional commission. It is a constitutional
and legal commission.

“Nobody has been indicted. We only ask them to
look into matters and ask one or two questions”,
he stressed.

Wike, who further denied receiving any handover
note from the past administration, noted: “Let us
start from the national level. When Jonathan was
leaving, did he just handover just the villa? Did he
not handover the whole government structure;
from one ministry to the other?”
