Press statement from Rivers State Governor-Elect,
Nyesom Wike. Read below...
Barrister Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has decried the use
of the office of the Attorney General of Rivers State
by outgoing Governor Rotimi Amaechi to file a suit
for Rivers State All Progressives Congress ( APC ) to
stop his inauguration.
Addressing members of the inauguration and
transition committees on Tuesday in Port Harcourt,
Barrister Wike announced that the Federal High
Court in Owerri has struck out the suit filed by
Attorney General of Rivers State and the Rivers APC.
He informed that credible information available to
him indicates that Governor Amaechi paid out
N300m to some lawyers out of an agreed N500m
for the procurement of the illegal order which has
failed.
Barrister Wike noted that the state became
bankrupt because of the outgoing governor's
fixation on stopping his inauguration and his
siphoning of government funds to shop for
unconstitutional court orders.
He said it was unfortunate that outgoing governor
Rotimi Amaechi would desecrate the office of the
Attorney General of Rivers State and enmesh it in
illegal political manoeuvres.
He said : " Amaechi has boasted that he has looted
all the funds and he is threatening that if Buhari is
sworn in he will deal with this and the policeman
and soldier.
"That tells you the kind of man you are dealing with.
This is just to inform those who you who are not
informed about his antics, so that you will be
encouraged in the face his needless provocation".
He commended the judiciary for always living
above the treacherous antics of politicians like
Amaechi who survive on name dropping and use of
corrupt means to negatively influence due process.
