Rivers State Governor,Nyesom Wike, has labelled a former Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, a liar and frustrated politician describing as ludicrous Amaechi’s allegations that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, once worked under him as a Minister.


The governor called on security agencies to arrest him following his spurious claims that he opposed the reappointment of Yakubu because the INEC’s Chairman was nominated by someone in the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s camp of the All Progressives Congress (APC).


Wike said Amaechi’s public tantrums were tantamount to public incitement and should be treated as a threat to national security.


The governor, in a state broadcast on the outcome of the March 18th general elections in Rivers on Tuesday, said Amaechi’s outburst that the just conducted general elections by INEC was the worst in Nigeria’s history was laughable.
