Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has launched an attack on his predecessor and former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, saying his candidacy as presidential running mate to Atiku Abubakar on the platform of African Democratic Congress (ADC) is of no benefit to the people of Rivers State. 

Wike said this at a media chat in Abuja, on tuesday, he alleged that Amaechi was a  political liability with no electoral value in Rivers State or the wider South-south region.

He  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.
