Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has publicly accused Rotimi Amaechi of being primarily responsible for Goodluck Jonathan’s loss in the 2015 presidential election. Wike alleges Amaechi’s selection was solely based on financial considerations, implying bribery or funding played a crucial role. He further contends that Amaechi lacks the political capacity to effectively mobilize voters. This accusation highlights ongoing tensions between the two prominent figures in Nigerian politics. Wike’s statement suggests a belief that Amaechi’s actions were detrimental to Jonathan’s campaign. The governor's remarks raise questions about the influence of money in Nigerian elections and the strategies employed during the 2015 presidential race. This claim appears in a report published by Vanguard News.
