Description

THE atmosphere of Rivers State is charged, no thanks to hot exchange of words between the state’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters over the allegation by the State Governor, Nyesom Wike that the Judith Amaechi, wife of immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi was forcefully collecting between N2 million to N3 million for her pet project Empowerment Support Initiative (ESI).

Supporters of former Governor Amaechi, under the aegis of Former Rivers Commissioners and Local Government Council Chairmen came out with a statement on Thursday, in Port Harcourt debunking Governor Wike’s allegation, describing it as false while the PDP through its state spokesman, Samuel Nwanosike insisted that Judith Amaechi actually collected such monies adding that Amaechi’s wife also coaxed members of Rivers State House of Assembly to contribute certain amount of money out of their constituency project fund in financing her pet project, ESI, during the tenure of her husband as governor
