I’m not interested in Amaechi’s appointment, Gov Wike insists

Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has insisted that he had no interest in the appointment of his predecessor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, as a minister. Wike was reacting to claims by the All Progressives Congress (APC) that he was orchestrating a protest against Amaechi’s expected appointment as a minister.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Opunabo Inko-Tariah, in Port Harcourt, on Monday, Wike described the claim that he was working against Amaechi’s emergence as a minister as spurious and malicious.
He maintained that the appointment of Amaechi had nothing to do with the governance of Rivers State, adding that it was the right of the President to select those that would work with him as ministers.
“It (the claim that Wike was against Amaechi’s appointment) is not only spurious, but fatuous and malicious. Governor Wike has no cause to orchestrate a protest against the appointment of Rotimi Amaechi,” Inko-Tariah said.
