THE disagreement between the Minister
of State for the Education, Chief
Nyesom Wike, and the Rivers State
Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, took a
fresh turn on Sunday when he (Wike)
declared that Amaechi’s government
had failed.
Wike, who made this declaration on
Sunday at his residence in Port Harcourt
while receiving elders, women and
youths from Rumueme Kingdom, Obio/
Akpor Local Government, described the
governor’s monorail project as a death
trap.
Reacting on Amaechi’s behalf, the
governor’s Chief of Staff, Chief Tony
Okocha, said it was unfortunate that
Wike could describe the monorail that
would begin to function in December as
a death trap.
Okocha, who described Wike as a
drowning man, expressed the need for
the minister to get himself out of the
‘show of shame’ in Abuja, adding that
Wike should apologise to President
Jonathan for fighting in public as a
minister.
“We have the clips of what transpired in
Abuja and we thought Wike would take
time to explain how he physically
assaulted people in public. On the
monorail, he (Wike) should know that
the project is now a cynosure of all
eyes.
“The state is insisting that by December,
they will see the train move on the
monorail. When a man is drowning, he
clings on anything he sees. Wike is
sinking.
However, Wike pointed out that the Old
GRA in Port Harcourt was no longer
what it used to be, adding that some of
the roads in the state capital were in a
deplorable condition.
The minister urged his visitors to ensure
that they get their permanent voter
card and vote out the All Progressives
Congress-led government in the state.
He accused Amaechi of abusing elders
and disrespecting traditional institutions
in the state, maintaining that the state
governor would not be able to develop
Rumueme in Obio/Akpor before the
expiration of his tenure in May 2015.
He said, “There is one death trap they
call monorail. Yes, we know that one
day, we must die, but with the monorail
I am seeing there, I will not take such a
risk. The monorail is a death trap.
“Tell them to tell their children to go
there (monorail) first. Look at the Old
GRA; if you are driving in the night, you
will see that it does not look like the
Old GRA. The roads are bad and it
shows that this government has failed.
“Your voter card is the only power you
have to ensure that you vote the APC
out and tell the APC to pack and go. The
APC is a drug that has been banned for
many years.
“You must be armed with your voter
card because without it, you don’t have
the competence to talk about who will
be the governor and who will be the
President.”
Wike urged the people of the state not
to listen to those who said that
President Goodluck Jonathan hated
them, adding that the people of the
state would work together as a “united
and one Rivers State.”
On the minister claim that the Amaechi
government was a failure, Okocha said,
“The truth is that you can take anything
away from Amaechi, you cannot take
away the fact that he (Amaechi) has
written his name on the sand of time.”
He also disagreed with Wike that most
roads in the state were bad, maintaining
that contractors were working on the
roads.
“You know that Rivers State has salty
water and this affects the roads. MCC is
at work to ensure that the potholes are
closed,” he said.

A plot allegedly directed at forcing Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State out of office in a way
former Governor Chris Ngige of Anambra State was subjected to in 2003 was unveiled, yesterday.
The plot, allegedly aimed at forcing Amaechi out of office through blackmail while being kept
incommunicado, it was claimed yesterday, would also involve family members of the embattled
governor as co-conspirators.
The plot was made known in a statement by the Rivers’ Peoples Forum, RPF, signed by its president,
Mr. Charles Bekwele.
Central to the plot, as disclosed by Bekwele, is that the governor would be seized in the same way Dr.
Ngige was held hostage on July 11, 2003, few months after his inauguration as governor of Anambra
State and subjected to physical pressures to resign from office on account of alleged differences with
his estranged political godfather, Chief Chris Uba.
The point of the blackmail was, however, not detailed in the statement by RPF, which claimed that
Amaechi would be seized and forced to record his resignation speech for subsequent broadcast.
The chairman of People Democratic Party PDP fac in the state, Felix Obuah, who has led the campaign
against the governor was in a meeting when Vanguard sought his reaction to the statement. A text
message sent on the issue had not received a response at press time.
RPF in the statement said: “This fresh plot to illegally remove Governor Amaechi from office is another
desperate move by the Abuja cabal that is desperate to remove the governor from office by all means
possible. This Abuja cabal has hatched a four-part sinister plot that is planned to end with the
governor being blackmailed and threatened to resign from office.
“Incontrovertible information at our disposal indicates that the Abuja cabal working with some expired
politicians in the state has planned to execute this plot within three weeks. The hatchet man of the
expired politicians is a former Rivers State legislator, who was recently involved in the failed plot to
remove the state Speaker Otelemaba Amachree, which led to the fracas in the state Assembly. The
said former legislator lobbied the state legislators with promises of huge sums of money to
