ANTAGONISM against Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has assumed a new twist with a group, Rivers Integrity and Development Forum, RIDF, calling on Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to probe the governor over alleged financial abuses of the state’s resources.
Chairman of the group, Warigbani Ezekiel, who briefed newsmen in Port Harcourt, weekend, said it beats the group’s imagination that Rivers since governorship of Amaechi in 2007 has received over N2.4trillion statutory allocation as well as internally generated revenue and yet has a debt profile of between N250 billion to N500 billion.
Governor, Rotimi Amaechi
Reacting to the allegations and call for EFFC probe, Chief of Staff to Government House, Mr. Tony Okocha, said there was a subsisting court order barring any agency from probing any official of the Rivers State Government or any of its agencies.
Okocha said: “Until that order is vacated by a court of competent jurisdiction, no agency of the Federal Government, be it the EFCC or Independent Corrupt Practice Commission, ICPC, can probe the Government of Rivers State.
“Those who want to come to equity must come with clean hands. The court has ordered that the government of Governor Amaechi should not be probed.”
Continuing, Ezekiel alleged: “At inception of office, Amaechi promised Rivers people that he was saving N1 billion monthly on their behalf as a kind of state Sovereign Wealth Fund. From that promise to this month is a clear 58 months. That means N58 billion had been saved for Rivers people. Surprisingly thus far, the state is in debts.
“Governor Amaechi has hidden under the façade of infrastructural development to borrow sundry sums.”
Today, Rivers people are embarrassingly at loss as to the exact debt profile of the state, which is estimated to be between N250billion to N500billion.”
The group also accused the Amaechi’s government of giving conflicting figures on the debt profile of the state as well as duplication, inflation and partisan award of contracts at the detriment of the state’s treasury, while also flaying sales of government property and seizure of communal lands for alleged transfer to private concerns.

Its quite sad that we the public as sat down and remain calm over this issues,it time we ask this Tony Okocha, who happens to be the mouth piece of the governor why the court injunctions,if they have nothing to hide then invite efcc and its sisters to come look into their books.

Ameachi and his cabinet has a lot to hide and efcc and others should go to court to vacate that order.

The judicary is not helping this country at all while would a judge give such an order,I expect them to ask the reason why they should not be investigated.

Since they have all failed to ask we would ask Tony Okocha the reasons for barring Efcc.

Ameachi and his group of governors cannot win the fight against GEJ, because they are even more corrupt than GEJ,by the we Nigerians should ask them if we sent them, the G7 and CO all this nonsense they are doing they should manage their states and stop using the states money to attend peace meetings, you can imagine Ameachi buying a plane for himself just because he is NGF chairman, all this at the detriments of Rivers state.

All we see in Rivers is just schools and a few good roads that's. All.

God will help us in this country, when a few persons can hold us in this country to ransom, who is Baraje? That they can't deal with, he still moves around with escort NPF, withdraw them from him coz he is not elected official or gov't appointee.

They all need to be called to order or else the masses will call them. If they are not ok wig Jonathan they should go to the polls and sort it out and Jonathan should focus and his program and deliver people will vote for him forget this G7, Nigerians don't support them.

They are there to distract Jonathan.
