I don’t respond to my subordinate – Amaechi fires back at Wike

The African Democratic Congress, (ADC) vice presidential
candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has fired back at the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, who
said Atiku Abubakar picked him as running mate because of money.

 

Featuring in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme
on Channels Television on Tuesday, Amaechi said he does not respond to his
subordinate.

Wike during a media parley with selected journalists on
Tuesday had said that Amaechi does not have political value in Rivers state.

Reacting, Amaechi said, “I don’t respond to my subordinate.
Wike never hired me. By the time I finish mourning and go into campaign,
anybody that insults me, I will insult him back.”

It will be recalled that Amaechi was a presidential
candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, but lost out to Atiku
Abubakar in the party’s primaries.

Atiku later approached Amaechi after the exercise and later,
the ADC announced Amaechi as his running mate ahead of the 2027 general
elections.
