Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Nyesom Wike has slammed the vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi for allegedly working against the re-election of Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
Wike, who spoke on Tuesday at a media chat with selected journalists in Abuja, said the South South people have not forgotten Amaechi’s role in Jonathan’s defeat.
According to the Minister, Amaechi cannot kick his own brother out and expect to be kicked in as a vice president.
He said, “When Jonathan from the South South wanted to run for the second term, Amaechi came out on national television and said “kick him out”.
“A South South person wants to run for his second term and you are proud to kick him out. Then the South South should be happy for you to be vice president?
“You kicked your own brother out and then you want people to kick you in”.
The Minister urged Rivers State residents to reject Amaechi at the forthcoming general elections, accusing him of being a disgrace to the state.
Wike also said that when Amaechi was a minister, he never brought any development to the state.
