The new Governor made the comments on Sunday, May 31, 2015 while speaking at the post-inauguration thanksgiving service in Port Harcourt.

“As I speak with you, everything has been vandalised. I will not enter the Government House in the next two or three months. There is no vehicle in Government House, not even one. Yet the former governor (Rotimi Amaechi) talks about corruption," Wike said.

The governor said further that the bullet proof doors, furniture, cars, crested carpets, curtains and windows had also been taken away.
