Read Amaechi remarks below:
"I have been listening to Mr. Nyesom Wike and I have been trying not to
reply him. He has been accusing me of corruption and I have been trying
to keep quiet over the issue of corruption. A thief cannot call me
corrupt. The first lesson he needs to learn is that he was Chief of
Staff to my government. If I have no records, I have records on him.
One way we succeeded in moving this state forward was that we refused to
probe Dr. Peter Odili’s government, despite the pressure on me to probe
Dr. Odili’s government, because at the end of the day, they will not
ask me the number of persons I probed, but what I did while in
government.
This convention centre (built by his government) is one of the
testimonies. If we had gone to the Obi Wali Cultural Centre (in Mile
One, Diobu, Port Harcourt, now taken over by Sliverbird Cinema), the
hall would have looked very full. This hall accommodates
2,200 persons. The convention centre is very big. On top of the roof is
a plenty space for big parties, for those who want to organise ‘Owambe’
and there are many conference/committee rooms in the hall.
“The road to Nyesom Wike’s father’s house was built by me.
A relation of mine was killed in front of Wike’s father’s house, during
the 2015 general elections. I am a Christian. I have never killed
anybody and I will never kill anybody. Instead of killing somebody, I
will give up my ambition. Anybody’s life is greater than any ambition I
will have on earth. Nigerians need to be honest and transparent. I
recently had a conversation with my first son on the phone and he said
he was proud of me, because they cannot write the history of Nigeria,
and the transition from one civilian government to another, without
including me.
I laughed and my son said everybody knew the role I played,
the struggle and the fact that my family was torn into different parts
and my children could not see me, but that they are proud to have a
father like me. That, for me, is my greatest achievement. God did not
put me to shame. I will be leaving office as Rivers Governor very proud.
President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife (Dame Patience); Nyesom Wike;
soldiers and police could not remove me from office. When I pray, in
front of me all the time is God. That is why I am always victorious. If
you want to fight me, you must first defeat God, which is impossible.
Nobody can overcome God. I have won already.”he said
