Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has
declared that former Gov. Rotimi Amaechi is a failed governor who needs
urgent psychiatric evaluation and treatment.
Governor Wike said
Former Governor Amaechi is monstrously corrupt,
pointing out that after his litigation on his indictment by
the judicial Commission of Inquiry, his (Amaechi's) prosecution over the
embezzlement of Rivers resources will take place.
Speaking at the PDP
Rivers West Senatorial District Campaign rally at Ahoada on Saturday,
GovernorWike said that only a man with psychiatric
disorder will compare his failed eight years in office
to just eight months of the new administration.
He said the
former governor failed in his eight as the state chief
executive. According to him, Amaechi lacks proper parental
upbringing hence his desperation in the political arena.
Governor Wike said
that the APC has refused to campaign for the rerun
elections because they are relying on the military and
security forces to rig.
"He is a
psychiatric patient who was at the radio station abusing people who
are old enough to be his fathers/mothers simply because his
party lost at the Supreme Court.
"We will
defeat Amaechi again and again. No matter the deployed to
Rivers State, the PDP we will all the seats ".
The governor
said that Amaechi during his radio tour confessed
that the military has been handed over to him to rig elections
in the state. He added that the plot would fail
woefully as the Rivers people will defend their mandate.
He pointed out
that Amaechi's personal friend Mr Tosin Ajayi was
posted to Rivers State as DSS director with the evil
objective of creating the environment of
rigging.
He said : "Only
yesterday, I intercepted the communication of the DSS
director and the Brigade commander where they were planning on the ways
of rigging the election alongside Amaechi. That plot has failed.
"Amaechi
lacks sound parental upbringing. He has vindicated us when he said
that he has been given the army to rig the rerun elections. I know
the Chief of Army staff very well. He should not allow a
psychiatric patient to use the Army to rig.
"Is Amaechi
now the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces that he talks
about deploying soldiers? Our people will rise up to defend
their votes. They will make the needed sacrifices their
votes", Governor Wike said.
He reminded the
people that on May 27, 2015, Amaechi made a statement that
his (Wike ) administration will be unable to pay
salaries and execute projects. He said he has confounded through
the execution of pro-people projects across
the state, payment of salaries and pensions.
He called on the
people of Rivers West Senatorial District to vote overwhelmingly
for the PDP for uniformed development to be
entrenched in the state.
The Governor
said that development of the communities rests
with his administration, pointing out that he has discharged
his responsibility faithfully.
Governor Wike said
no matter the time it takes Amaechi will face trial for stealing
Rivers resources .
"If President
Muhammadu Buhari visits Amaechi's house in Asokoro, he will never allow
him to come into Presidential Villa. After the case initiated by
Amaechi over his indictment, he will face justice for
embezzling state funds"
Also speaking , PDP
Deputy National Chairman described the
former governor as a pathetic liar who mismanaged
resources of the state.
He said :
"Amaechi needs urgent proper psychiatric evaluation and
treatment. We call on Dr Parker to treat the former governor ".
He said Amaechi's
appearance on different radio stations is merely
an avenue to create crisis in the state.
He said:
"No amount of blackmail will pull down the
administration of Governor Wike. Amaechi was
a failed governor ".
The Rivers
North West Senatorial District Campaign rally attracted PDP
faithful from the eight local government areas of the
district.
