‘I Am Waiting For You In Rivers State’ – Wike Dares Amaechi

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dared former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, to back up his calls for a national revolt by leading the charge from Rivers State, alongside his children.

Wike issued the challenge on Friday while reacting to Amaechi’s comments on Channels Television’s Politics Nowadays, where the former governor urged Nigerians to rise against Leader Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Addressing during the commissioning of the newly rehabilitated Aguma Palace, located on Radio Nigeria’s Recent Market Road in Gwagwalada Area Council, FCT, Wike called out Amaechi by name, questioning his commitment to the revolution he advocates.

Wike stated, “I was not a governor when I refused several individuals from bringing their successor.

In 2015, I defeated a very powerful governor who wanted his boy to be governor.

“In 2019, a super minister borrowing money from the Chinese bank and everywhere, making us highly indebted, he was the DG for the Leader’s campaign, he couldn’t get 20 per cent for Mr Leader then, I defeated him.

“Several individuals say Nigerians should come out.

The man who is saying that, I want you to lead it.

“You that is inciting Nigerians to revolt, I’m waiting for you in Rivers State.

You will begin there initially and lead it with your children.

“And it’s not that your children would be in London while you are here, saying that they should come out and revolt.
