Amaechi Is A Total Failure, Can’t Enter Aso Rock Anymore – Wike

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, rebuked his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, on Monday, when he described the former Minister of Transportation as a “total failure” who no longer has access to Aso Villa in Abuja.

“This should be the last time that you (Amaechi) will talk about this state because you are a total failure as far as this state is concerned. A total failure. Even what is supposed to come to us, you blocked it but we didn’t bother.

“You think you will not finish as a minister, you have left. I hear he can’t even enter Villa now. All those periods you intimidated police people, and army people are over. You use to tell them, ‘The President is angry with you’. Now, go and tell them,” Wike said as he commissioned a remodelled former RivBank Building in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Wike and Amaechi have been at loggerheads for years whilst they strive to enthrone their respective political parties in the state.

Amaechi was Rivers’s governor from May 2007 to May 2015. The top-ranking member of the ruling All Progressives Congress was Minister of Transportation for seven cumulative years till mid-May 2022, when he resigned to pursue his presidential ambition. Amaechi, however, lost to ex-governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu.

On the other hand, Wike, who has been governor since May 2015, is a staunch member of the Peoples Democratic Party. He also contested his party’s presidential primary but lost to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar from Adamawa State.

Amaechi had on Saturday taken a swipe at Wike at the funeral of a traditional ruler, Alabo Graham-Douglas, in the Akuku Toru Local Government Area of the state.

The former minister had knocked Wike, who was absent at the funeral, saying he thought the state government would take responsibility for everything concerning the Kalabari chief and recognise him.




However, Wike on Monday, replied Amaechi, saying he chose to stay away from the burial because it was politicised. The governor went on to detail how he constructed the roads leading to the residence and palace of the traditional ruler when he was alive.

The governor also claimed he elevated Alabo’s stool to the status of a first-class monarch before his passing.

“Don’t distract us again or else I will say more things,” Wike further warned the former minister

The tropical nation of Maldives has quit the commonwealth saying the inter-governmental organisation had taken punitive actions against the Maldives despite its progress in strengthening democratic institutions. The South Asian country announced on Thursday its decision to leave in a statement via its Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  The statement said: “The Maldives joined the Commonwealth in 1982 with high hopes and expectations, convinced that the organisation will be an arena for coordinating critical issues that the member States, in particular, the smallest members of the organisation face. Since 2012, the Government of Maldives has been giving maximum cooperation to the Commonwealth, shown maximum transparency, and engaged with the Commonwealth at the highest levels. The Government had high hopes that such level of engagement will produce fruitful results. Regrettably, the Commonwealth has not recognised that progress and achievements that the Maldives accomplished ...

2023: I WISH PETER OBI WAS NOT AN IGBO MAN. - CHARLES AWUZIE

2023: 'I Wish Peter Obi Was Not An Igbo Man'       ▪Sometimes I just wish that Peter Obi was from another Tribe but not Igbo so I can campaign for him without anyone thinking I'm doing so because he's Igbo or people rejecting the best candidate just because of his tribe.  It's difficult being black... Even more difficult being Nigerian and most difficult being Igbo.        ▪Yesterday, someone told me that Peter Obi is a good leader but because of IPOB and their Biafra agitation, he won't vote for him. I  asked him what he thinks about Boko Haram and Shettima... He kept quiet so I told him that his Problem is not IPOB or even Peter but his HATRED for the Igbos which he never realised existed. I asked him if he would vote for Peter Obi if he wasn't an Igbo man. He kept quiet. I then asked him to start seeing Peter Obi as "Peter Ahmed Doyin". We laughed but deep down, I wished that Peter Obi wasn't an Igbo man or at least, that Nigerians are not...
