Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has revealed that the Rivers State government has discovered one of the state's Legacy 600 aircraft, flown to and abandoned in Germany since 2012 by the then Governor Chibuike Amaechi administration. Wike led a delegation of Rivers leaders to General Atomics Aerotec in Munich, Germany, where the aircraft had been abandoned for 10 years, and said efforts to repair and retrieve the aircraft would cost the state over 300 million Euros. Wike had to travel to Munich, Germany with a state delegation to prove that the Legacy 600 aircraft had been discovered and returned to Nigeria. Froetschi expressed delight that Wike took the initiative to repair and return the aircraft to Nigeria for use by the state government.
