“I’ll Resign as FCT Minister If NDDC Audit Doesn’t Indict Amaechi and His Wife” – Wike Dares Federal Government

In what has quickly become one of the boldest political statements of the year, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has issued a fiery ultimatum to the Federal Government: release the NDDC forensic audit report and prove him wrong—or he’ll walk away from his ministerial position.

Wike, speaking during a live media chat in Port Harcourt, challenged the Tinubu-led administration to make the long-concealed forensic audit report of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) public, insisting it will expose massive corruption allegedly involving former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi and his wife.

“Let them publish the report. If that report does not indict Amaechi and his wife, I will resign as Minister of the FCT. I don’t worship office,” Wike declared.

He claimed Amaechi’s wife received ₦4 billion monthly under the guise of training Niger Delta women during her husband’s tenure, totaling over ₦48 billion annually—a claim that has since sparked outrage and political tension.

Wike didn't stop there. He further alleged that a contractor gifted Amaechi a Rolls-Royce in exchange for favors, stressing that he has never and will never accept such luxury as a bribe.

“How did Amaechi’s wife become an industrialist overnight? She was running a small shop. Let’s be honest with Nigerians,” he added.

The drama escalated as Wike accused former Attorney-General Abubakar Malami of intentionally burying the report to protect powerful allies.

While Amaechi has yet to respond in detail to the specific accusations, he previously dismissed Wike’s comments as "childish" and unworthy of engagement. Other political observers have called Wike’s attack “reckless” and warned it could deepen rifts within the ruling APC.

Political analyst Reuben Abati weighed in, cautioning Wike against “insulting senior politicians just to score points,” pointing out that he has already offended Amaechi, former Governor Peter Odili, and risks clashing with President Tinubu himself.

With the NDDC audit report still under wraps, the pressure is now squarely on the Federal Government to either make it public or risk appearing complicit in what could be one of Nigeria’s biggest corruption scandals.

Will Wike stand by his word? Will Amaechi respond with proof or silence? And will the Federal Government release the audit report or continue to shield it?

Only time will tell—but for now, Nigeria watches closely.
