Former Governor of
Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday, warned his successor, Mr. Nyesom
Wike, against taking God for granted.
Amaechi also said he
decided to shun the judicial commission of inquiry set up by Wike because the
panel was illegal.
The ex-governor, while
speaking with his supporters and members of the All Progressives Congress in
Rivers State, stated that he would only appear before the commission of inquiry
if Wike complied with the law.
Amaechi stated that the
governor had already adjudged him to be guilty in the presence of members of
the panel and vowed that he would go to court over the matter.
He insisted that he
would not appear before the Justice George Omeriji panel until an independent
person or body was called to handle the probe of his administration.
Amaechi said, “Nyesom
Wike was not afraid of God in the past; he never went to church. Today, he is
going on bended knees to the same God we worship. Don’t take God for granted
because if we don’t go back to God to remind Him, God may answer his (Wike’s)
prayers.”
Recalling how his
relative was allegedly killed in front of Wike’s father’s house at Rumueprikom, the
former governor called on President Muhammadu Buhari to prevail on the
Inspector-General of Police to investigate the deaths in the state.
He said, “We are asking
the Federal Government to investigate it; we have written, asking for
investigation but nothing has happened yet. We hope that the President will
call on the IGP to investigate what happened with his policemen. We need the
IGP to investigate so that people don’t encourage impunity.”
