Wike, a shameless liar, says Amaechi

Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, has termed recent insinuations about government expenditure in the state by his former ‘boy’ and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Nyesom Wike, as bogus lies, falsification of figures and clear case of ‘tales by moonlight’.
Amaechi said Wike’s verbal attack during his recent campaign rallies in Port Harcourt and Obio-Akpor were outright lies being spewed to deceive the public, a failed attempt to tarnish his (Amaechi’s) sparkling image.
“But he should know by now that the people are not gullible and know that Wike is rather an embodiment of corruption and everything that is wrong with our country.”
In a statement by Chief Press Secretary to the Rivers State Governor, Mr. David Iyofor; Rivers people and Nigerians were urged to disregard Wike’s ranting, tagging Wike as a drowning man who’s only desperate to score cheap political points by falsifying figures and spreading falsehood because he (Wike) has absolutely nothing to offer Rivers people.”
“That Governor Amaechi run a transparent, accountable administration has never been in doubt. Everything about the income and expenditures of this government is in the public domain and has never been shrouded in secrecy. So, Wike’s ignominious attempt to dish out cooked figures will never fly.”
He asked Wike to tell the people who he is contesting against. “Is Amaechi a candidate in the governorship elections? Why has Wike insisted on campaigning against someone that is not a candidate? Is Wike clearly telling the public that he is no match for the APC governorship candidate, Dakuku Peterside, and the only way to divert attention is to keep making wild, spurious claims?
“Of course, it is glaring that the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, is by far, a much better choice than Wike. The two can’t be compared in terms character, attitude, performance and achievements in public service.”
“As supervising Minister of Education, Wike drove the Nigerian education sector to comatose. Universities and Polytechnics across the country were on strike for months. He is known for squandering public funds on frivolous selfish activities.
“Wike’s plan to return Rivers State to the pre-2007 era of insecurity, incessant crime, thuggery and street cultism will fail woefully, because Rivers people will never accept a man like that.
“Wike’s constant derailing from an issues-based campaign to falsely accusing Governor Amaechi of corruption will never fly. Anybody that has followed the Amaechi administration from its inception will agree that transparency and accountability has been its watchword.
“Thus, Wike should be advised to focus on rescuing his failed campaign because pointing accusing fingers at Amaechi (who is not a candidate at the polls) will not win him the elections.
“He is not and will never be a match, or ever be the same league with Governor Amaechi. From May 29, 2015, Rivers people deserve a people-oriented, humble, transparent, accountable and most importantly God-fearing leader; certainly not a thug-prowling character like Nyesom Wike, ” the statement read.
The statement further urged Rivers people to disregard Wike, the PDP and its antics of fraudulent, concocted “tales by moonlight” against Amaechi.
