Amaechi To Wike: “My Mercedes Will Be Bigger Than Yours”

By Adesina Soyooye

In what reminds one of Nkem Nwankwo’s novel “My Mercedes Is Bigger Than Yours”, Rotimi Amaechi, Vice Presidential Candidate has told the Minister for Federal the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, that his crowd in Rivers State is bigger than his.

In a challenge thrown at Wike on his boast that the huge crowd at the launch of President Bola Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign in Port Harcourt is a sign that Tinubu would win Rivers State, Amaechi told Wike to watch out for his own crowd when his party, the African Democratic Congress visits Port Harcourt.

Amaechi: “If our vrowd doesn’t exceed APC’s own, we’ll believe Wike that Rivers has chosen Bola Tinubu.”

Amaechi who spoke in an interview with DCL English, said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) planto hold its presidential campaign rally at the same same venue as APC – Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium.

According to Amaechi the APC would fill the 41,000 seats and even attract about 20,000 supporters onto the football pitch.

Amaechi said that he would only accept Wike’s boast if he and ADC fail to attract a larger crowd than the Wike’s APC.

Wike is leading the Presidential Campaign bid of President Tinubu in Rivers State and the FCT even though he still claims to be of the PDP.

For the records, he was Amaechi’s Chief of Staff when Amaechi was Rivers State Governor before the two of them parted ways.
