Rivers State Governor has given the Federal Government an ultimatum of 7 days to return the $43million dollars found in a luxury apartment in Ikoyi to the Rivers State Government , failure which the State Government will take legal measures to ensure that it gets back her stolen resources.
Governor Wike also declared that the $43million dollars found in the luxury apartment in Ikoyi belongs to the Rivers State Government. Governor Wike said that investigations by the Rivers State Government revealed that the money was proceed from the sale of gas turbines by the immediate past Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
However, more trouble looms as National Intelligence Agency (NIA) a highly secretive organisation in Nigeria’s security circles, that oversees foreign intelligence and counterintelligence operations in the country has also claimed ownership of the money.
In response, Governor Wike said all the stories being peddled about the money belonging to the National Intelligence Agency are false and mere face saving measures by the embattled APC Federal Government.
Guys, What do you think?

I have been looking for that money since three months ago, a 🐀 in my house took it to Lagos from Rivers State that's why it was in a building owned by no one. Anyway, sincerely speaking and base on logistics, it's our money, Rivers state Money. #bringBackOurMon ey
