Minister of Transportation, Mr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has accused Rivers State governor, Chief Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike of playing politics with the development and lives of the people of the state.

He also accused Wike of attempting without success to denigrate and tarnish his towering image, person and laudable, landmark achievements while he served as governor of the state.

Amaechi, who made the accusations in a statement issued in Port Harcourt yesterday by his media office, expressed regrets that the governor linked the killing of innocent members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and other indigenes of the state to cultism.

“We challenge Wike to tell us the cult groups and the cult wars that led to the killing of the innocent youth corper, Chukwudumeibi Okonta on the re-run election day? Was the youth corper a cultist or victim of cult wars or yet another victim of politically motivated killings in Rivers State?
