You Betrayed Rivers People – Wike Attacks Emeka Ihedioha

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has accused the former Governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha of betraying the people of Rivers State.

According to Wike, the people of Rivers State spent their money and sleepless nights to make sure Ihedioha emerge as the Governor of Imo State in 2019.

The Peoples Democratic Party chieftain warned those conspiring against Rivers State to be ready to experience devastating downfall in life.

Wike while speaking at a special thanksgiving service in Rivers State, on Sunday, claimed that Ihedioha broke their agreement four to five months in office as governor.

He added that Imo State and Rivers State had an agreement that the two states would share the proceeds of the oil well.

The Supreme Court last week gave Rivers State the right over the oil well.

The oil wells are located in Akiri and Mbede communities.

Wike while speaking said, “This young man (Ihedioha), just within four/five months he became a governor, went to see Mr. President. He wrote to Mr. President that Rivers State is owing Imo State N15billion and, therefore, they should take the money from Rivers State, that the oil wells we are sharing on the 50:50 formula amicably, belong to them.

“This is someone Rivers people, not Rivers State government, supported, and spent money on. I’ve never seen a betrayer like this in my life.

“Rivers people who helped him, had sleepless nights to make him the governor of Imo State. We did everything we could do, thinking that we were supporting a friend. All we got was a stab at the back.”
