Wike Challenges Amaechi on $39M Hospital and Monorail

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, confronted former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi regarding the accountability of major projects and expenditures from his administration. This challenge occurred during an interactive meeting with the Uzugbani Ekpeye National Executive Council and local leaders in Ahoada.

Wike's remarks followed Amaechi's criticism of the Federal Government's project delivery on Channels Television’s _Politics Today_. Wike specifically questioned the $39 million spent on the Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte Specialist Hospital, the N68 billion monorail project, and approximately N10 billion allocated for an anti-malaria fumigation initiative.

He expressed concerns about the hospital's incomplete status and labeled a $10 million malaria control project with Cuba as ineffective. Wike urged the people of Ahoada East and West to demand evidence of projects and empowerment during Amaechi's 24 years in leadership roles, emphasizing that leadership should be measured by tangible outcomes rather than positions held.
