Inside rivers state - Nyesom Wike

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has
accused his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi of
forming a new cult group in the state.
Wike said the group was formed with the aim
of creating security crisis in the state to
frustrate his government.
The Governor stated this on Monday, May 22,
while commissioning the Kpopie-Bodo Road
in Gokana Local Government Area of the
state.
The event was part of the activities to
commemorate two years anniversary of the
Wike administration.
A statement issued by his media aide,
Simeon Nwakaudu , said the new cult is
named "New Rivers Cult Group."
Wike also alleged that Amaechi, who is
presently serving as the Minister of
Transportation, inaugurated the group at a
private residence in Woji area of Port
Harcourt, Rivers capital.
He said after the inauguration, the minister
distributed N500, 000 to members of the
group from each of the 23 local government
areas.
The Governor also claimed that the group is
being coordinated by the duo of Ojukaye Flag
Amachree and Oji Ngofa , who he said were
mobilized by Amaechi.
According to him, Ojukaye is presently
standing trial for murder.
Wike said, "Let me alert Nigerians; I am only
informing Nigerians and security agencies of
the crime against Rivers State by the
immediate past governor.
"We have successfully concluded the state
amnesty programme for cultists in the state,
but the former governor has set up another
cult group."
He said the new group has been armed for
the 2019 general elections.
He added that Amaechi promised members of
the group maximum security protection.
"I am shouting for the security agencies to
hear us. Let heaven hear us. Let nobody
allow his son to be used," he said.
"No amount of cult recruitment can
intimidate us. I am calling on the security
agencies to call the former governor to order."
Wike and Amaechi have been having a
running political battle since the former was
sworn in as governor on May 29, 2015.
