Former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed recent remarks made by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, stating that he would not engage in a war of words with “children.”
Amaechi made the statement during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, where he responded, although indirectly, to Wike’s comments about his political relevance and past role in government.
Wike had earlier ridiculed a comment Amaechi made during his recent 60th birthday celebration, in which he said, “We’re all hungry.” The FCT minister dismissed the statement, saying Amaechi was not hungry for food but for political relevance.
The FTC minister further said he is responsible for Amaechi’s emergence as governor.
Amaechi further addressed his decision to appoint Wike as his chief of staff during his tenure, explaining that it was a deliberate move to keep him under close supervision.
