The Immediate past Governor of Rivers state and
current Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has said that the
current Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike
once threatened President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration “with fire and brimstone…” and
now brags to his cronies that he has the Chief
Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, and
the entire judiciary in his pocket whereupon he
can manipulate any judgement against him
(Amaechi).

Amaechi also accused Governor Wike of running
an administration “that embarks on wholesale
forgery and distortion of government documents
and then retails it out to his minions, the media
and now the judiciary in a shameful and futile bid
to defame and destroy Amaechi.”

According to the minister, Wike has also been
bragging that he certainly must get a conviction
and judgement to nail him (Amaechi) based on
forged documents, adding that the governor is
basing the recent visit to the state by the CJN, to
brag that Justice Onnoghen is his ‘main man.’

Amaechi gave the statement in a release to
newsmen on Sunday through his media office.
The statement read thus:
“Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike has
continued to twist, falsify and forge fresh
documents that he intends to use against the
immediate past governor of the state and now
Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi.

“Wike wants to use the elaborately distorted and
most times outright but carefully forged
documents to persecute and prosecute his
erstwhile benefactor in court. In the past couple
of days, Wike has been telling anyone who cares
to listen, bragging that he will certainly get a
conviction, a judgement against Amaechi in the
law courts on spurious charges of corruption
using his forged documents because he (Wike) is
in control of the judiciary at the state and national
level.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state that
Wike has been boasting that he has the judges in
the Rivers State judiciary in his pocket, that he’s
in full control and that the State judiciary would
always give him any judgement he wants against
Amaechi.

“Furthermore, Wike is bragging that the Chief
Justice of Nigeria (CJN) is his ‘main man’, that
would readily and easily assist him get any
judgement he wants against Amaechi at the apex
court, using his contorted documents.

“Wike is also telling anyone who cares to listen
that the Supreme Court (Justices) and judges
generally are not happy with Amaechi and so they
would easily convict him with any forged
document he presents in court. Power drunk Wike
is using the recent visit of the CJN to Rivers State
as his bragging right to prove his ‘extreme’
closeness to the CJN.

“Nigerians would recall that only a few days back,
Livingstone Wechie, the young man Wike used to
accuse Amaechi of corruption and write false and
frivolous petitions to the National Assembly, EFCC
etc, confessed in a live television programme and
in a statement he also circulated to the media,
that all the documents he used to wrongfully
portray Amaechi as corrupt when he governed
Rivers State, were phonies, forged documents
given to him by Wike’s Rivers State Government
House.

“Wechie also admitted, like we have always said,
that the forged documents were used as the
template and basis for the Justice Omereji led
Judicial Commission of Inquiry, a panel Wike set
up early in his administration to witch-hunt,
malign, vilify and persecute Amaechi.

“Sadly, this is the kind of administration that
presides over the affairs of Rivers people. An
administration that embarks on wholesale forgery
and distortion of government documents and then
retails it out to his minions, the media and now
the judiciary in a shameful and futile bid to
defame and destroy Amaechi. Brazenly, without
any scruples, Governor Wike runs an
administration that manufactures and concocts
documents to indict Amaechi of corruption. Yes,
this is the kind of character, a low-level conman
that is at the helm of affairs in Rivers State.

“Since he became governor, Wike’s sole agenda
has been to attack and vilify Rotimi Amaechi, no
matter how ridiculous and silly he sounds.

Everyday in Rivers State, there is one frivolous,
false story of what Amaechi did or didn’t do.
Same pattern, the same blatant lies using
distorted and forged documents, same old
concocted stories of corruption allegations
against Amaechi told with different twists.

“Nigerians will not forget in a hurry how Nyesom
Wike, hurriedly called a suspicious late night
press conference to lie that the over $43million
found by EFCC in a luxury apartment in Ikoyi,
Lagos and the apartment belongs to Amaechi.

“Wike shamelessly said that the money was part
of what was stolen from Rivers State – and
warehoused in the Ikoyi house – by his
predecessor and current Minister for
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

“Not done with his concocted tales, Wike went
further to threaten the President Mohammadu
Buhari administration with fire and brimstone if
the money is not returned to him (Wike).
“He gave the Federal Goovernment a seven-day
ultimatum to return the money; otherwise, he
would institute the mother of all legal actions
against the Buhari government to recover the
money.

“That’s the typical Wike, a lying, reckless,
irresponsible and brutal forger that has become
the laughing stock of his peers and the nation.”

It's unfortunate this man don't have shame. Amaechi don't be scared cos even the periwinkles in Rivers State knows you're a criminal. No one will ever forgive or forget how you used Rivers State money to sponsor this mess we all found ourselves in called govt. Just that thunder refuse to act, if not it would have been ordered to "fall" on you. Leave CJN out of your calamity

what is this nonentity called saying, a real disgrace.

what is this nonentity called amechi saying, a real disgrace.

Amaechi should just concentrate on his Ministerial position and leave Rivers alone.

No wonder non of these Ministers are performing cos they choose to pursue shadows instead of good governance.


And these are Ministers that it took our London President months to appoint.
Mtcheww

Who will easily forget how it was bragged by APC supporters during the APC primaries how Atiku was giving the delegates $3,000 each and Amaechi was sharing $5,000...Thats how we all arrived at this mess called govt. He was made the campaign DG which automatically made him the ATM/conduit pipe.

Instead of The Lizard of Ubima to join his mates in jostling to replace the vegetable, he will rather cast aspersions on Wike who has no time for him. What's he afraid of?

Ameachi should face his problems and leave CJN out of it.

As far as Rivers politics is concerned. For APC it's sunset

These two have been like cats and rats for the past two years in rivers state.

Amaechi needs to leave Rivers politics and focus on his ministerial duties.
But Wike also needs to explain his comment on the Ikoyi gate.
Why did he make a false claim to the money?
