Amaechi refuses to rate Wike’s performance, says it’s too early

Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of Transport, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has stated that it is too early to assess the performance of his successor, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers.

He, however, regretted the number of persons that were gruesomely murdered in the state in the last one year, pointing out that such were not experienced in his first tenure as governor.

Amaechi, who spoke to newsmen shortly after paying a condolence visit to the family of the late literary icon, Captain Elechi Amadi at Mgbodo-Aluu community in Ikwerre local government area of the state, said he will write to the management of the University of Port Harcourt to name the Faculty of Humanities after the late Amadi.

His words, “It is too early to assess Nyesom Wike. It is too early to assess him; it is just one year. You cannot be comparing his one year to my one year, let’s allow him. Maybe, he will achieve it in his second year; maybe, he will achieve it in his third year”.

“But, the number of people that have been killed so far, the number of people that have been beheaded, in my first term; I didn’t see anybody beheaded, neither did I see anybody killed by these criminals.”
