Going to Rivers state gives me mental disorder – Amaechi

Former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has disclosed that he no longer visits Rivers State, stating that doing so induces a mental disorder.

Amaechi explained during an interview on Arise News that witnessing projects he completed during his tenure as governor abandoned and vandalized makes him “go crazy.” He specifically highlighted that some of the primary and secondary schools he built with state resources were neglected and allowed to be vandalized by his successor.

He said: “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.”
