Delivering the attack at a media chat in Abuja, yesterday, Wike alleged that Amaechi was a political liability with no electoral value in Rivers State or the wider South-south region. Wike claimed that Amaechi did not command followership and could not point to tangible achievements his leadership brought to the people of Rivers State and the South-south. Wike alleged that Amaechi failed to secure significant votes in Rivers State across multiple election cycles despite holding high-profile positions. It stressed that the people of Rivers State, not political declarations, would determine the outcome of the next general election. “Rivers State belongs to its people, not to any individual.”
