The Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has described the immediate-past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as a failure, who has also lost the audience of his former principal, President Muhammadu Buhari.

Governor Wike, who disclosed this yesterday while reacting to Amaechi’s criticism for not attending the funeral of a traditional ruler, Alabo Graham-Douglas, in Akuku Toru Local Government Area of the state on Sunday, said the former minister and the immediate past governor of River State did not fair well while in office as a minister.
The governor, who spoke while commissioning the remodelled Ultra-Modern seven-storey office in Port Harcourt, accused Ameachi of not making any meaningful impact as a minister.

According to him, the former minister used the military and the police to intimidate the people of the state while claiming to be acting on the orders of the President.

“This should be the last time that you (Amaechi) will talk about this state because you are a total failure as far as this state is concerned. A total failure. Even what is supposed to come to us, you blocked it, but we didn’t bother.

“You think you will not finish as a minister; you have left. I hear he can’t even enter Villa now. All those periods you intimidated police people, and army people are over.

“You used to tell them, ‘the President is angry with you’. Now, go and tell them. Don’t distract us again or else I will say more things,” Wike warned the former minister.
