A former Governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi has revealed that he does not go to the state anymore.

Amaechi stated this during an interview on Arise News, adding that travelling to the state makes him have a mental disorder.

According to the former Minister, seeing some projects he completed during his tenure as governor abandoned and vandalised makes him go crazy.

Amaechi specifically noted that some of the primary and secondary schools he built with state resources were abandoned and allowed to be vandalised by his successor.

“Now when I was sworn in as governor you’ll ask the question, ‘did you perform?’ People are building a flyover here and making noise.

“I built six flyovers. They’re there and I did not make noise. I didn’t call the President to come and commission. I built primary schools, let any other governor who has built primary schools come forward in Rivers State.

“I built secondary schools people were calling universities with two children per room and I got an agency in India to come and manage those schools and they brought science teachers from India and arts teachers from Nigeria.

“The schools are now abandoned, vandalised. That’s why I don’t go to Rivers State because it gives you mental disorder.

“Within that period, we tried to build a new city. We finished 24 hrs power supply and it was abandoned and vandalised.”

Ugamatv reports that Amaechi, a leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the South South region is now in opposition to the government of his party led by Bola Tinubu.

Amaechi is a frontline member of the coalition that is still conversing on how to defeat the incumbent president come 2027.
