Wike Accuses Amaechi of Misusing $10M in Rivers Funds
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, accused former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi of mismanaging public funds during his tenure. In a media chat on October 13, Wike claimed that Amaechi allocated over ₦50 billion for a hospital project but did not establish even a single chemist in the state.
Additionally, Wike alleged that Amaechi misappropriated $10 million of Rivers State funds intended for fumigation, asserting that no fumigation occurred in any part of the state. Wike also mentioned that Amaechi was indicted by a panel of inquiry but failed to appear before it to address the allegations against him.
