‘If Wike gets a second term, more people will die’ – Amaechi

Former River state Governor and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, says if Governor Nyesom Wike of the Peoples’ Democratic Party gets a second term in Rivers state, more people are likely to die.

Amaechi who leads the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state made the statement at a meeting he had with the delegation of the British High Commission to Nigeria during their visit to him in his Port Harcourt residence on Friday.

He said, “If Wike gets a second term, more people will die….he wants to kill us because of his second term ambition for the simple reason of milking the treasury of the State dry without considering what happens to the ordinary Rivers people. Stealing is in his blood.”

Amaechi wondered why Governor Wike would be crying foul about the presence of Military men in the State instead of joining forces to encourage them to beef up security apparatus in the State.

He stated that the elections of 2015 could not in any way be compared to the 2019 general elections in terms of security situation in the State.

Amaechi affirmed that with the presence of the Military in the State for the Saturday’s elections, everybody, including the APC and PDP members are protected.

He said, Wike’s plan is to see the total withdrawal of the Military and then have a free hand to start attacking APC members as they did in the previous elections.

On his choice of endorsing the Governorship candidate of African Action Congress in Saturday’s election, Amaechi said, “My party is not on the ballot for tomorrow’s election and you know I have the right to vote, that is why I will vote for the candidate of the AAC.
