Amaechi Says Wike suffers from ‘psychosomatic malady’, rejects award

The Minister of Transportation and former Governor of Rivers State, Chief Chibuike Amaechi,  has rejected an invitation to receive an award from the State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, as part of activities lined up to celebrate the 50th anniversary  of the state.

The Minister’s media team had issued an unsigned statement, which reads in part,  “The purported award itself is a contradiction of monumental proportions, a contradiction that can only come from a warped and perverted mind. From day one as governor, Wike has made it his sole, one-point agenda to attack, abuse, insult and falsely denigrate Amaechi, his immediate predecessor and erstwhile benefactor.”

“ what is the bases or criteria for Wike to give an award/honour to a man he (Wike) has rashly attacked and called all sorts of unprintable names in the past two years For Wike to do a 360 and give an award to a predecessor, he (Wike) has consistently but misleadingly and deceitfully called Satan, Judas, non-performer, thief and only this week a sponsor of cultists, shows evidently that Wike suffers from a grave but rare form of psychosomatic malady”
