Amaechi claimed that Wike spends N50 million from the state resources on alcohol every week and should not be allowed to waste taxpayers’ money on frivolities.
He stated this on Tuesday during the governorship campaign for the APC candidate, Tonye Cole, in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area of the State.
Amaechi was reacting to the statement made by Wike that he was drinking a very expensive 40-year-old whiskey, in the morning while leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were protesting at the INEC headquarters in Abuja last week.
The former minister called on the people of the state not to allow Wike to have a third term through his stooge, and continue to waste state funds meant for development.
Amaechi said the amount of money Wike spends on alcohol in two weeks, is almost equivalent to the amount he spent to build one primary school when he served as governor.
He said, “The person Wike buys alcohol from, said Wike spends 50million naira every week on alcohol. The primary schools we built are 112 million naira, which means that in two weeks Wike has drunk one primary school. When Wike talks, it is alcohol that is talking. And he’s so shameless about it. Wike told the whole world on live TV that he was drinking a very expensive 40-year-old whiskey, in the morning.
