The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has heavily criticized former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, accusing him of mismanaging state funds and declaring that Amaechi will face stiff resistance if he attempts to campaign in Rivers State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
