SUPER RICH STUDENT’S CLAIM: WIKE’S CLASSMATE IN UNIPORT DEBUNKS MINISTER’S ASSERTION, ‘HE NEVER HAD EVEN A BICYCLE AS AN UNDERGRADUATE
Wike who made the claims while speaking on a Channels Television program last week, had said allegations of corruptly enriching himself levelled against him by former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi were false as he was a self made man who started making money at a very young age.
Dismissing the allegations of corruption, Wike said he personally purchased his Rolls-Royce and did not receive it as a bribe or political favour, stressing that no contractor or associate gave him the vehicle.
I have a Rolls-Royce. So what? Nobody gave it to me. I bought it. People ask, ‘With what money?’ Let me tell you — I came from a comfortable background,” the FCT Minister had said.
He went on to state that his father was a general manager of several companies and that he enjoyed a decent lifestyle even as a student.
As a student, I was driving a Mercedes-Benz. So don’t let anyone tell you I suddenly became wealthy. I didn’t come from poverty,” he added.
But while puncturing Wike’s claims in a Facebook post on Thursday, Wogu said Wike lied about coming from a privileged background as he was a struggling student who could not even afford a bicycle not to talk of driving a Mercedes-Benz while studying political science and education in the late 1980s.
“The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. I wonder how someone who has classmates who, by God’s grace, are alive would come on national television and claim he was driving a Mercedes Benz car between 1986 and 1990 in the University of Port Harcourt, where he studied political science/education,” Wogu wrote in the post.
Jesus Christ, please have mercy. This guy wore sandals with buckles and never rode on a bicycle throughout our 4-year sojourn, and I have over 4000 witnesses. So this is how he has been lying? Too shocked here,” he added.
