Amaechi said:
“Let
me tell you what is currently going on in Rivers State. The governor
and PDP are afraid of me getting an appointment to the national
executive council because that will determine what the politics of
Rivers State will be.”
“And they know that the
current President abhors corruption and the only way they can stop me
from getting the appointment is to paint me with corruption. And the
people that know me in Rivers State know that I don’t like money. But I
am not angry with them. My anger is that in Rivers they know I don’t
like money. And I expect them to defend me that I don’t like money.”
“Governor
Nyesom Wike has again sponsored one advert in a bid to rubbish me. He
will go and publish in the paper on Monday as advert.”
“Only
God knows that if there is one thing I don’t like, I don’t like money.
Anybody close to me knows that I don’t like money. Even Nyesom Wike told
me you will not win second term if you don’t use money. So all this
wasted projects will not deliver us. And I said let us do it once and
for all.”
