Ex-Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, was absent at the swearing-in of his successor, Chief Nyesom Wike in Rivers state today ==> Friday.

There had been speculations that
Amaechi may not be present at
Wike’s inauguration as a result of
the controversy surrounding the
presidential and governorship
elections in the state.
Speaking through his Chief Press
Secretary, Mr. David Iyofor, explained
that he would rather be at the
swearing-in of the President-elect,
Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday, in
Abuja.
