Some have recalled how the former governor of Rivers State and immediate past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi recently revealed how Nyesom Wike spend N50 million weekly on drinking alcohol.

The expenses Amaechi said is borned by Rivers State government, while he described Woke as a drunkard who should not be allowed to waste taxpayers’ money on frivolities.

Amaechi said the amount of money Wike spends on alcohol in two weeks, is almost equivalent to the amount he spent to build one primary school when he served as governor.

In the photo making the rounds online, Wike and Fayose were spotted consuming a drink said to be worth about five million Naira.

While some slammed them over the frivolous drink, others claimed they can afford it considering their status.
