Gov.Rotimi Amaechi accuses Wike of diverting N3.5 billion Rivers money


According to reports from Premium Times .Governor, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has accused Mr.Nyesom Wike the former Minister of State for Education to have embezzled over N3.5 billion  of Rivers state funds.LOL.This is funny please if you have evidence kindly direct your petition with facts and documents to the appropriate quarters.

The Governor made this known yesterday during a courtesy call on the traditional ruler of Akpor Kingdom, Orlu Oriebe that the money was paid to the former minister for the execution of some contracts in the state. He said despite receiving the money, the minister did not execute the contracts, a set of classroom blocks and a road in Rivers State.We want to ask you if Government pays 100% upfront for contracts awarded.His statement,

“My administration gave Nyesom Wike, the contract worth N2 billion to construct Eneka road and he disappeared with the funds,” “I even awarded 14 classroom blocks to Nyesom Wike at the cost of N112 million each. But, as you can see, he has not built even a building.”

Mr Wike’s aide, Sam Nwakaudu who reacted to the allegation, told PREMIUM TIMES said,

“It is the same recycled lies he has been using since Wike stopped working with him,”

“For every time he has made these accusations has failed to provide proof. He should provide evidence of the contract and hand them over to anti-corruption agencies. This particular issue has been used over and over again.

“What kind of contract do you pay the contractor N1.5 billion upfront? These are purely false allegations concocted by Mr Amaechi to divert attention from his failure as governor,”
