PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (MandyNews.com) – The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, have been at the center of a controversy after a photograph of them surfaced online where they were seen enjoying an expensive bottle of Dalmore whiskey.

Nigerians have had different reactions to the photo. Some are upset, while others are standing up for the governors.

The photo has caused a lot of reactions because the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, said that Wike spends N50 million (about $120,000 USD) a week on alcohol with money from the government.

Recently, Amaechi called Wike a “drunkard” who shouldn’t be allowed to waste taxpayer money on silly things.

He added that the amount of money Wike spends on alcohol in two weeks is almost equivalent to the amount he spent to build one primary school when he served as governor.

Wike’s spokesperson, Kelvin Ebiri, dismissed Amaechi’s allegations as baseless and politically motivated.

But a picture of Wike and Fayose drinking a bottle of Dalmore whiskey worth about five million naira (about $12,000 USD) has made the situation even more controversial.

The Dalmore whiskey is known for being high quality and hard to get. This makes it a favorite among people who like expensive whiskey. The whiskey is aged in American white oak casks before being transferred to casks that previously held 30-year-old Matusalem oloroso sherry. This process gives the whiskey a unique flavor profile that is highly sought after by connoisseurs.

Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, is one of Nigeria’s major oil-producing states and a hub for business and commerce. The city is known for its lively nightlife, with lots of bars and clubs where people can unwind after a long day.

Some Nigerians have criticized the governors for drinking expensive whiskey, but others have defended them by saying they can afford it because of their position.

The controversy has brought up old arguments about how to spend public money and whether or not elected officials have a duty to do what is best for their constituents.

Nigerians have been upset for a long time about their government spending money on useless things. Many Nigerians have asked their elected officials to be more accountable and open.

As the controversy about Wike and Fayose goes on, it remains to be seen if they will respond to the accusations and give Nigerians a satisfactory answer.
