Former Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, has described the probe of his tenure as governor by his successor, Nyesom Wike as a deliberate witch hunt.
Amaechi said Wike has gone ahead with his plan of threatening, coercing and blackmailing officials of his administration, especially civil servants into making false, phony and bogus statements that would make legitimate government transactions appear as corrupt practices.
In a statement signed on his behalf by his media aide, David Iyofor, Amaechi urged the people of the state, the media and the public to be watchful, vigilant and discern the fraudulent acts of Wike to make him and his administration look bad.
He said, “As I noted earlier in a previous statement, Nyesom Wike is going ahead with his plan of attempting to deride and discredit me and my administration, by blackmailing and coercing key government officials including DFAs, Permanent Secretaries and others to twist and distort legitimate government transactions in his desperation to cook up, and fabricate baseless, concocted and unfounded cases of corruption against me and the administration I ran.”
