The Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has berated the former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, over the decisions he made during his time in office.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television, he claimed that Amaechi had poor judgment and misplaced priorities.
According to him, Amaechi made terrible decisions, such as shutting down the Rivers judiciary, because he wanted to make a biased appointment.
Oshiomhole said, “Rotimi Amaechi is the most terrible. Look at the choice of language. A guy who shut down Rivers’ judiciary because he wanted to appoint his own personal favourite as the chief judge of Rivers State. Once he couldn’t have his way, the Rivers State judiciary was shut down for almost two years.
“Look at the crisis in the railway system that he superintendent over for eight unbroken years. He was unable to get the priorities right, playing to the gallery. Now he rather constructed a rail, not to Kano, not to Port Harcourt, where he came from, but to Niger Republic.
“Which goods are we sending to Niger Republic? He was a minister. And if you were a minister under Buhari, you will be fair to him, life or death, that Buhari gave anyone he appointed free hand to do the job he assigned to you. That is what Buhari was.”
