Wike said Amaechi chose to tell lies to Nigerians during his 60th birthday celebration by claiming there’s hunger in the country.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has described former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi as a hungry politician.
Wike was reacting to Amaechi’s recent comments on the President Bola Tinubu administration.
Wike said Amaechi chose to tell lies to Nigerians during his 60th birthday celebration by claiming there’s hunger in the country.
Wike spoke on Monday during his monthly media parley in Abuja.
According to the FCT Minister, Amaechi is only hungry for power.
Insisting that Amaechi just can’t stay out of power, he said: “I don’t know how a man will choose his 60th birthday to tell lies. It’s unfortunate that in your 60th birthday that people are celebrating you, you choose to tell lies.
“He was Speaker in 1999 to 2007. Everybody knows he was the most pompous Speaker. He was living in London as a Speaker. He became a governor 2007 to 2015.
“Eight years as a Speaker and eight years as a governor, he never talked about hunger.
“He was a minister for eight years, and two years after he left power he became hungry – hungry for power.
“He joined Atiku and El-Rufai because he is hungry. He can’t just stay out of power.”
