‘I will celebrate if you leave PDP’ – Wike dares Amaechi, Amaechi Hits Back

The Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, on Sunday dared the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and his supporters to leave the Peoples Democratic Party for another political party.

But Governor Amaechi said Wike should be more interested in how to get students back to the school instead of leaving Abuja every week to play dirty politics in Rivers State.

"As supervising minister for education, it should have been reasonable for Wike to bother about the fact that students roam the streets and take to heinous crimes because of a protracted strike by lecturers."

Wike said Amaechi and his supporters should join another party if they believed they are popular, promising that he (Wike) and his followers would celebrate the exit of the governor from the PDP.
