Wike, Amaechi resume fight over Igbo votes for guber candidates

Ahead of Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections, the two political actors in Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike and former Minister of Transportation and a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in state, Chibuike Amaechi, have resumed their rivalry.

This time, the duo are jostling for votes from the Igbo community of the state.

Amaechi had earlier met with the community during a stakeholders meeting in Port Harcourt, assuring them that their properties, including houses lost during the civil war between 1967-1970, would be given back to them if they vote right.

He noted that if the Igbo, who left their properties in Lagos and in the North got them back, the ones in Rivers  State should not be an exception.
