Wike Decries Amaechi’s Wickedness Towards Ogoni

The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike has decried the political wickedness being meted out to Ogoni people by the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
Speaking during a defection rally for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Leader of Ward 18 of Khana Local Government Area Kpean, Wike said that the sacking of the Ogoni-born Executive Director of Finance, Mr Derek Mene was the height of political isolation and marginalization of the Ogoni Ethnic Nationality.
Wike said: “At times, it is good to taste the other side to know who loves you. The Ogoni people have tasted APC and they have seen very high level of neglect and marginalization.
“The Minister of Transportation promised you Governorship and denied you that position. Then Ogoni got the position of Executive Director of Finance at NDDC. Even that one, he has collected and given to his boy, Chris Amadi”.
He lauded the leaders and people of Ward 18, Khana Local Government Area for their mass defection, which he said is the beginning of great days.
The governor said that they will be treated as staunch PDP members who will get all the benefits due party members.
He said: “PDP is a big umbrella that accommodates everyone. I am happy that Austin Nwanko has returned to the PDP. Even while he was in the APC, he related well with us. He played politics without bitterness”.
The Ward 18 Leader, Elder Austin Nwanko said he was back to PDP to assist the party win all positions in the forthcoming elections.
He praised the outstanding performance of Wike across Ogoni land, saying he deserves the support of the people.
