Featuring on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Tuesday evening, the former Rivers State governor said Wike wanted to be commissioner for finance but he refused.

According to Amaechi: “I wanted him (Wike) as chief of staff so I could supervise him.

“Adoke flew all the way from Abuja to Port Harcourt that Wike asked me to make him the Commissioner for Finance and I said no, he has to work under me so that I can supervise him.
