Wike Challenges Amaechi on Election Wins Since 2011

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly challenged former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi to identify any election he has won in Rivers State since their political relationship ended in 2011. This challenge arose during an interactive meeting with the Uzugbani Ekpeye National Executive Council and political leaders from Ahoada East and Ahoada West Local Government Areas.

Wike's remarks were a response to criticisms Amaechi made regarding the Federal Government's project delivery during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today. Wike questioned Amaechi's record in Rivers State, particularly regarding the $39 million payment to a contractor for the incomplete Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte Specialist Hospital project, which was initiated by Amaechi.

He also referenced a $10 million expenditure for fumigation efforts in Rivers State, questioning their effectiveness. Wike emphasized that despite Amaechi's extensive political experience, he had not contributed anything significant to Ekpeye Land.
