Amaechi: I Never Spent 82 Million Naira On Soyinka Dinner, Wike Can Go To Court

Following the recent allegation that he spent 82 million naira on a 3-hour-dinner with Wole Soyinka, former Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi has come out to refute the claim, stating that current governor Nyeson Wike can drag him to court if he feels agitated.

Ina statement Amaechi said:

“Wike must stop this silly distraction. Rivers people are not interested in his lies and witch-hunt. Rather, Rivers people want to know what will happen to their children that he stopped and cancelled the funding of their scholarships abroad.

“Rivers people want to know why is the Rivers State Sustainable Development Agency (RSSDA), an agency set up by law no longer functioning under Wike?

“Why instead of quality education, a standard set by his predecessor, under Wike, grasses and weeds have taken over the beautiful schools built by Amaechi?

“Rivers people want to know why the standard health facilities and services put in place by the Amaechi administration are rotting away, not this petty rambling.

“Rivers people want to know why the Wike government does not care about the security of their lives and property, as violence and criminals have taken over. “Rivers people want to know why it feels as if there is no government in Rivers State, and this is in spite of the billions of naira that has accrued to the Wike administration and the tens of billions of naira borrowed.”
