Thisday: There is the rumour that the minister wants to be governor and Amaechi is opposed to it. Achi: I think it will be better if we put the question in proper perspective. Governor Amaechi did not oppose Wike’s ambition of becoming governor. All that the governor said was that in his own view, it would not be proper for another Ikwerre person to succeed him as governor given the multi-ethnic nature of Rivers State. Governor Amaechi alone is not the electorate. If Rivers people want another Ikwerre person to succeed him,then so be it. Today, Amaechi is imposing candidates on people, but if he had agreed that Ikwerre man, Nyesom, should succeed him he would have been the best person in Rivers State. Even as early as 2010, Nyesom had started working towards his succeeding Governor Amaechi, urging the governor to stick to his earlier statement that he, the governor, would not possibly contest for a second term. When it was obvious that the governor was going to contest, Wike began the campaign of Ikwerre North and South. Everybody in the Exco knew about it. It all started as a joke but today it is as real as day and night. If anyone believes that Nyesom is not planning to become governor after Governor Amaechi, then the person can believe anything. As it is said, power is a class a drug, it is highly addictive. Nyesom has tasted it and has become addicted and he is ready to do anything to continue to have it. Such men are desperate and can do anything for". Achi Godwin William Wobodo
