The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Rivers State, Chief (Barr) Nyesom Wike, has accused Governor Rotimi Amaechi of pumping a whooping N30bn of River State's fund into the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign.
According to the former Minister of State for Education, this development has made it impossible for the state government to pay workers’ salaries. Wike noted that Amaechi used state resources to fund the APC with the hope that he would be picked as the running mate to General Buhari.
Wike made these accusations when he visited Ikwerre Local Government Area on Thursday.
“Do you know why workers’ salaries have not been paid? Amaechi spent N30bn in funding the presidential campaign of the APC. They (the APC leadership) allowed him to spend the money and later, they called him mugu (fool).
“They (the APC leadership) said we will not make this ‘boy’ who does not respect the President (Goodluck Jonathan) the vice president. We should know that our future is in the PDP and not the APC,” Wike said.
In reaction to the allegations made by Wike, the state Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, stated that the former Minister's claims were totally untrue.
“It is unbelievable that a man who wants to be the governor of this state can make such an unbelievable statement without any proof. We challenge him to show proof that Governor Amaechi spent N30bn to fund the APC campaign.”
