Wike’s probe of Amaechi a wild goose chase, says Rivers APC

The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress ,APC has dismissed as a wild goose chase the probe of the Chibuike Amaechi administration ordered by the Governor of Rivers State, Chief Nyesom Wike.

Wike had on Friday, June 19 inaugurated a seven-man Judicial Commission of Inquiry,JCI with Justice George Emereji as Chairman and given a month to investigate the immediate past Amaechi administration.

“This is, at best, a fruitless and laughable venture; a wild goose chase,” Rivers APC said in a statement signed by its Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, and issued on Sunday in Port Harcourt.

The party noted that Amaechi ran a transparent administration and made it a habit to render account of his stewardship to Rivers people almost on a quarterly basis throughout his eight years in office as governor.

“Only a mischievous and treacherous person would, therefore, start sniffing the ground in a bid to find out if Rt. Hon. Amaechi soiled his hands while carrying out his functions as the Governor of Rivers State,” Rivers APC said.

The party said it is aware that Governor “Wike’s efforts to bring down Amaechi and rubbish his good name despite all his feats as Rivers State Governor are aimed to stop President Muhammadu Buhari from appointing him into his cabinet”.

According to the party, “One thing Chief Wike and his collaborators fail to understand is that President Buhari knows the politics of Rivers State as he knows his fingers”. 

Rivers APC made it clear that it is not perturbed by Governor Wike’s abracadabra but advised Justice Emereji and his co-panelists not to allow themselves to be used by Wike to cook up non-existent fraud cases against Amaechi”.
