Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has criticized his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, for accusing him of avoiding responsibility for the burial of notable traditional ruler, Alabo Graham-Douglas.
On Saturday, Amaechi, who has been at odds with Wike for years, took a shot at the Rivers State governor, stating that he believed the state government would take responsibility for everything involving the Kalabari chief and recognize him.
However, Wike responded to Amaechi on Monday when commissioning a renovated former RivBank Building in Port Harcourt, the state capital, stating he chose not to attend the funeral because it was politicized.

Wike went on to describe in detail how he built the roads leading to the traditional ruler’s dwelling and palace when he was alive.
He called the former Transportation Minister a “complete failure” who no longer has access to Aso Villa in Abuja.
“This should be the last time that you (Amaechi) will talk about this state because you are a total failure as far as this state is concerned. A total failure. Even what is supposed to come to us, you blocked it but we didn’t bother.
“You think you will not finish as a minister, you have left. I hear he can’t even enter Villa now. All those periods you intimidated police people, and army people are over. You use to tell them, ‘The President is angry with you’. Now, go and tell them,” Wike said.

The governor also claimed he elevated Alabo’s stool to the status of a first-class monarch before his passing.
“Don’t distract us again or else I will say more things,” Wike further warned the former minister.
