In an undated BBC Pigeon English interview, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, took a swipe at those who claim not to like money. He called them liars.
The interviewer had asked Wike: “Are you corrupt?”
And in response, the Governor answered: “I cannot say I am corrupt. I am not perfect. But I like money. If I don’t like money, how will I pay my children’s school fees, or take care of my mother that is in the hospital?”
In a mockery of those who claim not to like money, Wike dismissed them in a one-liner:”They are lying.”
Governor Wike’s predecessor in office, Chibuike Amaechi, currently the Minister for Transportation, had, a number of times, during interviews he granted, claimed not to like money.
“I don’t like money.”, is his signature tune.
