Wike Accuses Amaechi Of Corruption, Says Tinubu Deserves Commendation

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike accused former Governor Rotimi Amaechi of corruption during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today. Wike praised the Nigerian government's efforts in fighting terrorism, mentioning commendation from foreign governments like the US and UK.

He criticized Amaechi for lacking moral authority to speak on corruption, pointing to unresolved issues from his time as governor. Wike referenced a judicial inquiry that allegedly indicted Amaechi for mismanaging projects and questioned the transparency of his financial dealings.

Additionally, Wike mentioned Amaechi's criticism of Bola Tinubu's administration, suggesting that Amaechi should focus on addressing his own corruption allegations. The governor also addressed the initial surge in petrol prices following subsidy removal, which Amaechi had reportedly acknowledged.
