The erstwhile Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said the 'probe' of his administration by his successor, Nyesom Wike, is a fraudulent witch-hunt meant to misguide public opinion.
In a statement, on Sunday, June 22, in Port Harcourt, the state capital, by his former media officer, David Iyofor, Amaechi said Wike intended to use the probe to tarnish his image and grab media headlines with his “concocted bogus stories of Amaechi’s alleged corrupt activities”.
The statement reads: “This so-called Wike’s probe of Amaechi is dead on arrival. All the noise Wike is making is to grab media headlines with his lies of monumental corruption against Amaechi. It’s all drama made for the media. What is playing out is a script written and directed by Nyesom Wike. Wike should move to Nollywood where his devious skills would probably be useful.
“Even while inaugurating his yeoman commission of enquiry, Wike could not conceal his vendetta agenda. He was clear to the panel members that their job is to indict Amaechi.
“While it’s no longer in doubt what would be the report of Wike’s sham probe commission, what may shock Nigerians is the extent Wike has gone and is ready to go to manufacture stories of corrupt practices, and the kind of bogus tales of corruption against Amaechi that he will soon be feeding the nation with."
