The political supremacy rift between
Nyesom Wike, the Supervising
Education Minister and Governor
Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State got
more messy yesterday when Amaechi
said Wike is grossly incompetent to be
minster for education, saying the Wike
not fit to be an Education minister,
talkless of his being his successor as
Governor of Rivers State.
The Governor spoke yesterday a
thanksgiving service for Senator
Magnus Abe, at Bera, in Gokhana
Local Government Area. “Wike is not
fit to be the minister of education.
How do you make a man who cannot
speak English the minister of
education? How can Wike convince
professors in the university on any
issue when he can’t speak proper
English?
“My Commissioner for Information,
(Mrs Ibim Semenitari), speaks better
English than Wike. And I am sure
most of you know that she speaks
English better than Wike,” he said.
Amaechi said he would ensure that
Wike did not emerge as the next
governor of Rivers. He said he
nominated Wike to be miinster despite
the availability of other more
competent people due to his desire to
nominate his kinsman, an Ikwerre.
He also blamed Wike for causing his
defection to the All Progressives
Congress due to the betrayal he
suffered at the hands of his kinsman
and his ambition.
Wike in response said the intellectual
capacity of Governor Amaechi was
doubtful.
