Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has hit back at FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, saying he doesn’t argue with “children.”
Speaking on Arise TV, Amaechi explained why he made Wike his Chief of Staff during his time as Rivers governor. “I chose that role so I could supervise him closely,” he said. “I didn’t give him Finance Commissioner.”
Wike had earlier mocked Amaechi’s comment that “we’re all hungry,” saying his former boss was hungry for political relevance, not food.
Amaechi dismissed claims that Wike made him governor, saying it was God, Peter Odili, the judiciary, and Rivers people who did. “He likes to say he made himself everything—Chief of Staff, governor, minister,” Amaechi added.
