Amaechi Finally Replies Wike, He is A Child and His Former Employee
Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi has finally responded to attacks by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, over the state of hunger and economic hardship in Nigeria.
The verbal spat began when Amaechi expressed concerns about the country’s economic situation during his 60th birthday celebration, which was met with criticism from Wike.
In response to Wike’s criticism, Amaechi appeared on ARISE TV on Tuesday, where he fired back at the FCT Minister, stating that he would not engage in a war of words with “children”.
Amaechi’s remark was seen as a subtle jab at Wike, implying that the FCT Minister was not mature enough to engage in a meaningful discussion about the country’s economic challenges.
“I don’t want to join issues with children. God, Peter Odili, the judiciary, and the Rivers State people made me governor. Ask him how he made me governor.” Amaechi’s statement was a clear reference to his own rise to power as Governor of Rivers State, which he attributed to the will of God, the support of the people, and the intervention of the judiciary,” Amaechi said during the TV appearance.
The exchange between Amaechi and Wike has sparked a lively debate about the state of the economy in Nigeria, with many Nigerians weighing in on social media to express their opinions on the matter.
While some have praised Amaechi for speaking out about the economic hardship in the country, others have criticized him for his perceived arrogance and refusal to engage in a meaningful discussion with Wike.
Wike, on the other hand, has been accused of being overly sensitive and reactive to criticism, with some arguing that his response to Amaechi’s comments was unnecessary and unbecoming of a minister of the federal republic.
The FCT Minister has yet to respond to Amaechi’s latest salvo, but it is likely that the war of words between the two politicians will continue in the coming days.
The economic hardship in Nigeria has been a major concern for many citizens, with rising inflation, unemployment, and poverty rates.
The debate between Amaechi and Wike has brought the issue to the forefront, with many calling on the government to take urgent action to address the economic challenges facing the country.
