‘A frustrated politician’ – Wike blasts Amaechi over claims on INEC chairman

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, on Tuesday, dismissed a claim that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, once worked under him in the ministry of education.

Wike served as the Minister of State for Education under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration from 2013 to 2015.

The former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on Saturday told journalists after casting his vote in the Rivers State governorship election that Yakubu worked under Wike as the Executive Secretary of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).
