Wike Mocks Amaechi: ‘Bad Child, I’m Removing Your Shame’

The political animosity between Governor Nyesom Wike and his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi got personal on Wednesday after the Rivers State governor described his one time boss as a bad child lacking shame over his alleged failure to develop his mother’s ancestral home.

Governor Wike spoke at Egbeda Community while flagging off the construction of Akpabu-Egbeda-Omoku Link Road  in Emohua Local Government Area on Wednesday.

Also at the occasion, Wike vowed to soon unveil his 2023 presidential preference as he told his audience not to be swayed with speculations about his intentions.

The Rivers State governor thanked the people of Egbeda community for their support to his administration since 2015.

Governor Wike informed that he had long promised one of their sons, David Omereji, to bring democratic dividend to his community.

The Akpabu-Egbeda-Elele- Omoku link road being flagged off, he said, is one of such promises.

But he noted as sad that the former governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, whose mother hails from Egbeda Community would describe the project as not necessary and waste of resources.

“You see, your mother is from here. You didn’t seem it fit or necessary to do anything for your maternal home.

“Now, we that our mother is not from here, we are doing something to help your maternal home. You say it is unnecessary, it is a waste of resources.

“When you have a bad child, he is a bad child. If he is not a bad child, he should thank us for removing shame from his face. Since you don’t have Shame, I will add more things for your maternal home,” Wike said in undisguised mockery of his erstwhile boss and predecessor, Amaechi.

Governor Wike announced the award of contract for the reconstruction of the internal roads within Egbeda Community.

He therefore, directed the State Commissioner for Works to ensure that the contractor, MCC, handling the road being flagged off, stays back to attend to the internal roads.

Governor Wike restated that his administration does not award contract for any project if the money is not available.  He assured MCC that they will not be owed for the jobs contracted to them.
