Rivers State's former Chief of Staff, Nyesom Wike, has challenged his former vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, to explain the $39 million Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte Specialist Hospital project, the N68 billion monorail initiative, and the N10 billion anti-malaria fumigation program that allegedly cost the state during his tenure as governor.
Wike, who was the ADC vice-presidential candidate's Chief of Staff, made the remarks while addressing Uzugbani Ekpeye National Executive Council members in Ahoada East Local Government Area. The minister criticized Amaechi for blaming President Bola Tinubu's economic policies for his mother's death, pointing out that Amaechi held multiple top leadership positions for 24 years.
Wike noted that Amaechi's administration failed to complete the specialist hospital project and questioned the fate of the monorail project and malaria fumigation program, labeling the latter a scam.
