Immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has described his former depurty, Tele Ikuru as a liar because he didn’t return an money to him as he claims.
Ikuru during a thanksgiving service during the weekend has complained that Ameachi has not paid his severance benefits even though he returned the sum of N2 Billion to him during their administration.
Ameachi in a statement signed by his media aide, David Iyofor said “Tele is lying. He did not return any money to me. And I am not aware that he returned any money to the coffers of the state government.
“My former deputy’s ill-advised comments against me are indeed shameful and pitiable. His attack on me, his disgusting lamentation about parting gifts only goes to confirm what I have always known and said about those on the other side of the political divide in Rivers State(where my former deputy now belongs)- that all they want is to share the resources and commonwealth of Rivers people among themselves. This is why they fought me and are still fighting me.
“It’s most unfortunate that Tele, who I kept as my deputy in spite of the strong opposition against him, almost everyone was against him but I retained him and even ran with him for a second term, against the advice of most of my political associates, would now attempt to hideously disparage and attack me.”
