Rivers People Know I Don’t Like Money- Amaechi

Immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi at an event held in his honour Sunday night in Abuja, has said the people of River State are trying to blackmail him with the present Governor, Wike Nyesom leading the gang. According to him the people of the state knows he does not like money and Wike himself is fully aware of that and had once advised him that if he does not spend money on people he will not win his re-election as the Governor of the state. It is the same Wike who is now trying to black mail me, he explained. Below is what the Governor told people present at the event.

“Let me tell you what is currently going on in Rivers State. The governor and PDP are afraid of me getting an appointment to the national executive council because that will determine what the politics of Rivers State will be.

“And they know that the current President abhors corruption and the only way they can stop me from getting the appointment is to paint me with corruption. And the people that know me in Rivers State know that I don’t like money. But I am not angry with them. My anger is that in Rivers they know I don’t like money. And I expect them to defend me that I don’t like money.”

“Governor Nyesom Wike has again sponsored one advert in a bid to rubbish me. He will go and publish in the paper on Monday as advert. Only God knows that if there is one thing I don’t like, I don’t like money. Anybody close to me knows that I don’t like money. Even Nyesom Wike told me you will not win second term if you don’t use money. So all this wasted projects will not deliver us. And I said let us do it once and for all,” he said.
