Wike who said the governor should not be taken seriously urged politicians in the state to emulate President Goodluck Jonathan who conceded defeat in the last presidential election.

“Which election has he (Amaechi) not described as a sham. He dismissed the presidential election as a sham but when Buhari won, did he not say it was an act of God”, he said.
