You Think You Are Smart – Wike Slams Amaechi For Not Supporting Peter Obi

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Friday (today) lampooned Nigeria’s former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, for allegedly voting for the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, in the just concluded presidential election against his tribe man, Peter Obi of the Labour Party.

It was reported that Wike was reacting to the former Minister’s claim that he loves the Igbo people.

Amaechi during the week while moving around the Diobu area of Port Harcourt, campaigning for the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said that Igbo blood runs through his veins.

He asserted that his administration favoured the Igbo while he was the Governor of the State. Amaechi also criticized the current administration of Governor Wike in Rivers State saying he was not fair enough to Igbos.

In a swift reaction, however, Wike while addressing PDP supporters during a campaign rally ahead of the 2023 governorship and State Assembly elections in the State, wondered how the former Governor of Rivers State could claim to love the Igbo and yet refuse to Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State.NYSC Portal

“You think you’re smart, but you’re not smart. You said you love the Igbo, but you supported Atiku. You refused to support Obi. You didn’t know the Igbos then you’re supposed to support them.

“You’ve been a minister for how many years, what did you do for the Igbo? What do you do for the Igbo? When he was running for President, he said power should come to the South,” Wike said of Amaechi.

“When he lost, he didn’t believe in that again and said power should go to the North. So that when the North finishes, they’ll give him,” Wike added.JAMB Result
