… Says Wike Wants to Harass, Blackmail, Threaten officials of His
Administration Into Making False Claims of Corruption.

The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi has raised alarm over attempts by the new
occupant of Government House in Port Harcourt, Barr. Nyesom Wike
to intimidate, threaten and blackmail officials of his (Amaechi’s)
administration, including civil servants into making false, phony and
bogus claims of alleged corruption and corrupt practices against
him (Amaechi) and his wife, Judith; concocted claims that cannot
be substantiated.
Amaechi also debunked claims by Wike that the seat of power in the
State, Government House, Port Harcourt was vandalized and looted
by him. He described Wike’s provocative utterances as another
cheap smear campaign and ploy to siphon billions of naira from the
State treasury under the guise of renovating a ‘vandalized’ and
‘looted’ Government House.
This is contained in a statement released on behalf of the former
Governor by his spokesman, David Iyofor.
Amaechi stated that Wike had gone to ridiculous and absurd lengths
to show his imaginary claims of vandalisation and looting in
Government House in his bid to vote billions of naira for renovation
of the place.
He said, “I am aware that this (Monday) morning, Wike in company
of his coterie of court jesters took some video cameramen and
photographers on a tour of the Governor’s residence inside
Government House. He took them to the Governor’s bedroom where
he made further claims that the place has been looted.”
“The question to ask is, did Wike know what was in my former
bedroom before now, to conclude that the bedroom was looted? Did
he speak with or review with the Permanent Secretary of
Government House, who is the chief accounting officer before
jumping into such hasty and misguided conclusion?”
“Apparently, he had already reached a conclusion before arriving
Government House, and all he has been saying and doing is to work
towards that conclusion of looting and vandalisation. It’s instructive
to note that on Friday, May 29, Wike had barred some key officials
of Government House, including civil servants from accessing the
place. 48 hours later, he started shouting ‘vandalisation and
looting’. This doesn’t smell right. I left the place intact. If there’s
any vandalisation or looting in Government House after I left, Rivers
people should ask Wike what happened.”
“This is clearly a grand conspiracy to siphon state funds in the
guise of renovating a vandalized and looted Government House and
falsely smear my image. On the latter, Wike is sparing no expense,
employing all sorts of insidious tactics to accuse me and rub me
with the tar of corruption.”
“I am aware that a plot is on by Wike to harass,intimidate, threaten,
blackmail and do whatever it takes to get officials, including civil
servants, who served in my administration to make false and phony
claims of corruption against me, personally, and my dear wife,
Judith; in spite of the fact that my wife was never an official of
Government or public officeholder. These false, bogus and illusive
claims can never be substantiated but Wike doesn’t care. All he
wants is to taint my good name with screaming headlines of
corruption and corrupt practices in the media. But, he will certainly
fail.”
Amaechi urged the media to beware of this plot, scrutinize
thoroughly and disregard any of Wike’s wild and false claims of
corrupt practices against him and his wife. He further advised the
media to be weary and discard the stage-managed video by Wike
purportedly showing the looting and vandalisation of Government
House, Port Harcourt.
“The video is a fraud. Stage-managed to deceive and hoodwink the
public”, the statement concluded.

Wike need to go back to 8 Years budget breakdown for the Governors lodge.

This will prove the statement by SSG to Amechi "Does wike know what is in the governors Bedroom"

I knew it would be a matter of time for Amaechi to respond to Wike's allegations.
