At a media parley in Abuja, Wike said Amaechi can’t stay out of power and his hunger comment was an insult to the sensibilities of Nigerians.
Wike said with over two unbroken decades in various top public offices, Amaechi can’t claim that he is hungry for food.
Last Friday, at an event organised to mark his 60th birthday, Amaechi said he is hungry and he won’t mind joining the coalition led by opposition arrowhead Atiku Abubakar to trounce President Bola Tinubu at the 2027 polls.
Wike said:
“I don’t know why a man would choose his 60th birthday to tell lies. It’s unfortunate. Of all times, on your 60th birthday when people are celebrating you?
He was Rivers State Speaker from 1999 to 2007. He was the most pampered speaker. He became a governor from 2007 to 2015. Eight years as Rivers State House of Assembly Speaker, and eight years as governor, he never talked about hunger.
He became a minister from 2015 to 2023, eight years as a super minister of transport. When he was borrowing money (for projects), he didn’t talk about hunger.
Two years after office, he says
‘I’m in coalition because I’m hungry’. He is only hungry for power and that shows failure on his part.
How do you insult Nigerians? How do you trivialise the issue of hunger or poverty? He joined Atiku, and (ex-Kaduna governor Nasir) el-Rufai, all because he is hungry, has he not insulted Nigerians? he can’t stay out of power."

On this Wike is very correct.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a coalition of ex powerful people who just want power again but lying that they are doing this for the people. Sadly, some people actually believe them
Greed and hunger for power is the reason they want to usurp Tinubu but they will fail. Nigeria is how it is because people like Atiku make their living from her misfortune. He is about to be 80 years old if not more than and he still wants to be president, what is he looking for?
DeleteBoth of you are the same and mirror images of yourselves...I dunno why Wike is the one to talk because you are doing same thing he wants to do...Only you want to hold Rivers and Abuja and position yourself as the next Jagaban...
