‘Gambari Was Shocked Amaechi Ran Away From South-south Meeting’ – Wike
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has taken a swipe at the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi for not showing up at the South-South stakeholders meeting with the delegation led by Chief of Staff to the President, Professor Ibrahim Gambari in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
BIGPENNGR.COM reports that Wike expressed concern that Amaechi ostensibly dodged meeting stakeholders in Port Harcourt at the meeting after accompanying the Chief of Staff from Abuja to Port Harcourt but conspicuously stayed away from the meeting.
He described as regrettable the absence of the Minister, who reportedly arrived the Government House, Port Harcourt, with the Chief of Staff for the crucial stakeholders meeting on Tuesday, but failed to participate in the event for inexplicable reasons.
Governor Wike, however dismissed insinuation by the Deputy Senate President, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, that National Assembly members and ministers from the zone were not consulted before Tuesday’s meeting with the presidential delegation.
The Rivers State governor, who make the comment when he featured as a guest on Channels Television programme, Sunrise Daily on Thursday, posted the snippet of his comment on Twitter handle on Thursday evening.
