Ex-Wike Aide Compares Amaechi and Obi, Says Obi Enjoys Wider National Acceptance
A former media aide to Governor Nyesom Wike, Mr. Opunabo Inkor-Tariah, has shared his views on former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi.
In an interview with Vanguard on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, Inkor-Tariah praised Amaechi’s record as a minister but argued that he still has a long way to go if he intends to rival Obi’s nationwide popularity.
According to him, Amaechi is a straightforward leader who truly cares about Rivers State and its people. While acknowledging that he is not without flaws, he noted that the former transportation minister made significant contributions during his time in office.
However, Inkor-Tariah stressed that Obi holds the edge in terms of national acceptance. He explained that Obi enjoys wider support across Nigeria and that Amaechi would need to work tirelessly to reach that level.
He also pointed out that President Bola Tinubu faces slim chances of winning Rivers State in any future election.
“Amaechi is an honest man. He loves Rivers State and its people. As a minister, he performed very well. I am not saying he is a saint, but he is good.
We are talking about a nation and not Rivers State. If you place Peter Obi side by side with Amaechi, Obi has more acceptability. Amaechi has to work assiduously to reach Obi’s status,” he said.
