A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has accused the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, of making false claims in a recent interview.
Naija News recalls that Wike, during an interview on Channels Television, claimed he is from a wealthy background and attended school driving in a car, unlike his former boss, Rotimi Amaechi.
Wike also accused Amaechi’s wife, Dame Judith, of receiving ₦4 billion monthly from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to train Niger Delta women.
He vowed to resign as the FCT Minister if the forensic audit report on the NDDC is made public and does not indict Amaechi’s wife.
Reacting to the claims, Eze, in a statement on Monday, said Wike only presented falsehoods about his past exposure to the public, thereby ridiculing himself.
According to him, Wike’s family lived in poverty, and his father’s friends helped pay his school fees.
Eze stated that Amaechi made the most significant error in his political journey by encountering Wike and assisting him to be a Local Government Chairman, appointing him as his Chief of Staff, and recommending him for a Ministerial appointment.
He said, “Trying to claim how rich his father was when poverty that radiated his family was as strong as the direct ray of sun, is denying his background.
“His father, if alive, would be disappointed in his act of self-denial to justify his lavish living with public funds. Not minding that his father disowned him because of his character and if not for his friend’s father who assisted him by paying his school fees, Nigerians would have been spared of having such a charlatan in public service.
“In his futile attempt to castigate Amaechi’s wife who had genuine dealings with the NDDC, one is forced to ask whether Wike’s wife is fit for the exalted position of a Judge which she holds given that sleeping daily in the same room and on the same bed with a character like Wike will definitely affect her sense of judgement in the delivery of justice. The business of Court is a noble one and the background of a Judge shapes his/her sense of judgement.
“As Governor, Wike’s biggest legacy is the destruction of all major policies and projects set up by Amaechi’s government for the betterment of Rivers State and her people. The Agricultural set up that would have taken care of the food challenge currently facing Nigerians was destroyed, the educational sector and scholarship set up by Amaechi to make Rivers State a hub for human development was destroyed by Wike.”
