Amaechi to Wike: You have failed

Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday, took Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State to the cleaners.
To Amaechi who ruled the state for eight years, Wike has failed in governing the people.
Wike was Amaechi’s Chief of Staff and later Minister of State, Education.
Amaechi said under Wike’s watch, killings and massacre of the people persist all over the state on a daily basis.
He stated this at a rally where he received hundreds of supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bera, headquarters of Gokana Local Government Area in the South-South state.
According to him, “Every government has a responsibility to protect lives and property. The reason there is a government is because the people are alive, if you die, there will be no government.”
“Any government that watches its people killed every
day is an irresponsible government. Governor Wike watches his people killed everyday. I met a woman yesterday whose husband was killed in front of her with her son watching. It could have been any of you. I can assure you today that this government of Wike has failed.
“When I was your governor, you slept and I kept awake. As governor, I chased away the criminals to their holes. I know that the reason they are into crime was because there was no money for them, I knew that for you to stop a man from crime, need to provide an alternative means of livelihood. And to do that, I started building infrastructure. I built schools, hospitals and health centres. A lot of people were employed in each of the schools and health facilities I built,” he explained.
