Wike Challenges Amaechi on 24-Year Public Record

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, publicly challenged former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi to identify any projects or political empowerment initiatives he facilitated for Evo Kingdom and Rivers State during his 24 years in public office. This challenge was made during an interactive session on a Friday with leaders and stakeholders from Evo Kingdom in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area.

Wike criticized past political leaders for monopolizing power and failing to nurture successors, emphasizing that leadership should be evaluated based on its impact on the community. He specifically questioned Amaechi's legacy, stating, “What can anybody point to that he attracted to Evo Kingdom or Rivers State in all those 24 years?

Nothing!” Wike defended his own political record, expressing satisfaction with his achievements and reaffirming his loyalty to President Bola Tinubu, while stating he has no intention of returning to previous offices.
