The Supervising Minister for Education, Chief Hon. Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike has revealed the reason why Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is struggling hard to ensure that the Commissioner for Police, Rivers State Command, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu is transferred.
According to the Federal Minister, the governor has a face-off with Mr. Mbu, because he (Mbu) has refused to assassinate the political opponents of the Governor.
“Let me tell you the reason why Amaechi wants the Commissioner of Police- Mbu to be transferred is because he refuses to assassinate politicians who are opposed to his administration” Wike alleged.
The Minister was speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the LGA and Ward officers of the Grassroot Development Initiative (GDI) in Port Harcourt on Sunday. He frowned at the way and the manner in which the Governor is administering the affairs of the state.
Chief Nyesom Wike who condemned the slow pace of infrastructural development in the state, appealed to the Rivers people to throw their weight behind the second term bid of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
In his speech, a frontline politician in the state, Chief Sergeant Awuse blasted the Governor for poor execution of projects. He lamented that the N2.3trn received by the Governor so far as allocation in the past 6 years, is not commensurate with the development of the state.
Chief Awuse issued 30 days ultimatum to Governor Amaechi to meet with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr. Goodlcuk Ebele Jonathan or else “there will be no reconciliation”.
“The people of Ikwerre are not happy with the governor, because of his attitude and wrong behaviour”. Chief Awuse concluded. ###
