Former Employer Confesses: I Led Wike, Here's My Past Professional Relationship with Him
In a candid interview, the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, shared his unique history with the current Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Amaechi revealed that he once held the reins as Wike's boss, a position where he had the power to deny him the opportunity, but chose otherwise. When asked about their current friendship status during an Arise TV interview on Tuesday, Amaechi quipped, "I may have been Wike’s boss before, whether he likes it or not. I hired him; I could've said no."
Imagining a possible equal footing as former Governors, Amaechi jokingly pointed out that, while Wike never held the position of Speaker of the House of Assembly, he did during his political career.
Amaechi was evasive about his recent shift from the All Progressives Congress (APC), admitting he was grateful for the opportunities Buhari provided during the campaigns and his administration. However, he declined to delve deeper into APC-related matters.
Insight: Rotimi Amaechi and Nyesom Wike have a notable political history in Rivers State, Nigeria. During Amaechi's tenure as Governor, Wike served as his Chief of Staff. Later, Wike became a Minister of State for Education and eventually the Governor of Rivers State. Amaechi, who served as a Minister of Transportation, played a significant role in the political landscape of Nigeria during this period.
