A clear warning has been given to the Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike, by his immediate predecessor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday, over taking God for granted.


Amaechi also expressed the reason behind his decision to ignore the judicial commission of inquiry set up by Wike on the grounds of the panel being illegal.

This was made known by the former governor,  in a meeting with members of the Rivers State All Progressives Congress, and supporters alike, as he maintained that the only reason why he would appear before the commission of inquiry, was if due process was followed to the letter,  with Wike, complying with the Law

According to The Punch:

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.”
