“We are aware that the immediate past administration and her officials will resort to blackmail and propaganda for the purpose of diverting attention from their corruption practices. We shall remain focused on the task of getting back Rivers State resources and assets.”
Wike has accused the Amaechi administration of emptying the state treasury and stripping the State Government House bare of valuables.
