‘You Can’t Be A Poor Man And Have Such House’ – Wike Attacks Amaechi

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has urged Nigerians to recognise the kind of character and politicians who deceive them every day while pretending to be genuine.

Naijaonpoint reports that Wike made the remark while rubbishing the claim of former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, that he has no houses because he is not corrupt.

However, while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, the Minister dismissed Amaechi’s claim, stating that the former Rivers State Governor has a house in Abuja that a poor man cannot afford.

He pointed out that if Amaechi could be a Speaker, Governor, and Minister without owning a house, then he has a spiritual problem.

Wike said, “He said I have houses. Amaechi was Speaker for eight years, Governor for eight years, and Minister for eight years, and he does not have houses? Then he has a spiritual problem.

“Nigerians should know the kind of characters deceiving them every day, pretending.

“I will tell you about his house in Guzape, where I live. You need a bunker to destroy that house.

“I’m trying to show the quality, I’m not saying I would destroy the house. You can’t be a poor man and have such a house.”

He said he does not have this and that, where is his house? It’s in old GRA. Who built it? I heard him say NPA and NIMASA have not paid contractors, yes, because they have not paid his wife, who is a contractor.”
