FORMER local government chairmen and commissioners in Rivers State during the administration of Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, have faulted a statement credited to Governor Nyesom Wike that the wife of the ex-governor extorted money from them.
The former chairmen and commissioners said in a statement signed by the former chairman of Asari-Toru LGA, Mr. Ojukaye Amachree, and ex-Commissioner for Sports, Mr. Fred Igwe, that at no time were they coerced or intimidated to pay any money to the former governor’s wife, Dame Judith Amaechi.
Wike had stated that former commissioners and council chairmen were forced to pay N2m and N3m respectively to Amaechi’s wife during the immediate past governor’s administration.
