Former
Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday, warned his
successor, Mr. Nyesom Wike, against taking God for granted.
Amaechi
also said he decided to shun the judicial commission of inquiry set up by Wike
because the panel was illegal.
The
ex-governor, while speaking with his supporters and members of the All
Progressives Congress in Rivers State, stated that he would only appear before
the commission of inquiry if Wike complied with the law.
Amaechi
stated that the governor had already adjudged him to be guilty in the presence
of members of the panel and vowed that he would go to court over the matter.
He
insisted that he would not appear before the Justice George Omeriji panel until
an independent person or body was called to handle the probe of his
administration.
Amaechi
said, “Nyesom Wike was not afraid of God in the past; he never went to church.
Today, he is going on bended knees to the same God we worship. Don’t take God
for granted because if we don’t go back to God to remind Him, God may answer
his (Wike’s) prayers.”
Recalling
how his relative was allegedly killed in front of Wike’s father’s house at
Rumueprikom, the former governor called on President Muhammadu Buhari to
prevail on the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the deaths in the
state.
He
said, “We are asking the Federal Government to investigate it; we have written,
asking for investigation but nothing has happened yet. We hope that the
President will call on the IGP to investigate what happened with his policemen.
We need the IGP to investigate so that people don’t encourage impunity.”
