Wike Demands Accountability from Amaechi on Projects

Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has intensified his political rivalry with Rotimi Amaechi, the vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former governor of Rivers State. During a speech to the Uzugbani Ekpeye National Executive Council in Ahoada East Local Government Area, Wike challenged Amaechi to account for $39 million allocated for the Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte Specialist Hospital, the N68 billion monorail project, and approximately N10 billion spent on an anti-malaria fumigation initiative during his tenure as governor.

Wike criticized Amaechi's record over 24 years in leadership roles, questioning the outcomes of these projects and dismissing the malaria initiative as a scam. He also urged supporters to evaluate Amaechi's electoral success since 2011, highlighting a lack of wins in Rivers State.

Wike's comments reflect ongoing tensions between the two politicians, particularly regarding their past political relationship and differing approaches to governance.
