Amaechi is a goner,the 3 senators from his state are in WIKEs pocket. Tell me how he will scale through, coupled with the weighty corrupt allegations against him. At this moment I don't envy him at all.

Technical Consultants Advised Amaechi Against Monorail Project After Collecting N22bn

As the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by the Rivers State Government to probe the sale of valued assets of the state and other matters continued its sitting on Friday, the technical consultant to the state on the monorail project, Arcus Gibbs revealed that  he advised former Governor Chibuike Amaechi against continuing with the project.

Managing Director of Arcus Gibbs Nig Ltd, Wiero Viguezang, however said his company gave the advice only after collecting N22.9bn from the Rivers State Government since its services were enlisted in March 1, 2010.

Viguezang spoke when he appeared before the commission to explain the role played by his company in the monorail project being probed by the commission.

While being cross-examined by counsel to the commission, Dr. Zaccheus Adangor, Viguezang, stated that the monorail project was no longer tenable considering the shortfall in the state’s revenue and the inability of its original technical and equity partners, TSI Nig Ltd, headed by the former military administrator of Rivers State, Brig-Gen Anthony Ukpo (Rtd.), to fulfil its obligations to contribute 80 per cent of its equity holdings.

He disclosed that the state owes his company N1.1bn for its services.
He also said the company had in a letter to the Rivers State through the ministry of transport, in April, made a six-point recommendation to the Rivers State on how to unbundle the monorail project in such a way that the state government can salvage some financial benefits out of the N33.9bn so far invested in the project. The monorail project was originally estimated to cost about Euros2250m.

The technical partner had in its sixth point of recommendation suggested to the Rivers State Government to unbundle the monorail project and approach the manufacturers of the mechanical components and rail tracks in Germany and exploit the possibility of reselling components at a lower price to the manufacturers.

He said the company also advised the state government to consider the option of using the monorail facilities for other commercially viable purposes, mentioning the spaces between pillars and surrounding areas of the monorail project, stressing that the area between Azikiwe Road and the UTC axis could be put into very fruitful commercial purpose.
Viguezang also told the commission that his company and the state government had planned to unveil the monorail project last April specifically to mislead the people of Rivers State into thinking that the project, which has gulped N33.9bn, was still on course.

He admitted that his company wrote a memo to the commissioner for transport to arrange the unveiling of the project essentially for media coverage since the project was “technically uncompleted”. 

According to Viguezang, “We actually wrote to the ministry of transport in January, to arrange for the governor to unveil the monorail project in April for the attention and coverage of the media based on the expectation of the people of the state.”

When asked to clarify if the unveiling was to deceive the people of Rivers State into believing that the controversial monorail project was ready, Viguezang admitted; “It was to deceive the people into believing that the monorail project was at last ready”.

The managing director, however, stressed that “apart from the media coverage and public attention that it is expected to generate, the monorail was not technically and commercially ready. Only phase 1a within phase 1 of the project was ready. So, there was no way the public would have been able to use the monorail as at April when we asked the ministry of transport to unveil the project to the media”.

Viguezang admitted that the Rivers State government enlisted services of Arcus Gibbs at the cost of N600 million from March 1, 2010 to December 1, 2010, after the memorandum of understanding (MoU) with TSI collapsed because TSI could not raise revenue to fulfil the payment of its 80 per cent equity share capital.

He stated that part of its role as the technical service provider to the Rivers State government concerning the monorail project was to evaluate and assess the activities of TSI and give an independent opinion to the Rivers State government.

Wike should rather spend the little time he has to work for Rivers people instead of being petty.
Take Amaechi to court ASAP if you are sure of what you're saying or at most invite the EFCC.

Enice:
Wike should be thankful to Amaechi. When compared to peer states like Delta that is currently in debt to the tune of about N64 billion and is finding it difficult to pay salaries. Even Akwa-ibom that gets the largest allocation is in debt.

I smell lies coming from u.

So how come Rivers needed bail out money to pay funds
for pay workers and finish projects that were left undone?

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Ho ho ho...

TonyeBarcanista:
Amaechi go explain yourself to the judge and not to the press. If not that Buhari is hypocritical about anti-corruption crusade, you should be responding to questions from EFCC investigators by now.

In which court of law? The court of law instituted by Wike and the likes of you shey?

contunu...

PRYCE:
Mr Amaechi's is as devious as hell! Why did he not tell us if those 'rainy days' emptied those accounts!

But as usual his butt_lickers will swarm this thread and jerk each other off!

Plus why on hell should a governer be envious of a minister for God's sake?

w

Why is TINUBU envious of SARAKI ?

Ameachi should stop wasting his time. He will have his day in court to defend himself

WIKE is just a desperate and frustrated coward, go to court if you have a substantive evidence of corruption against Ameachi my role model

its good to save for the raining days

Till now, we are yet to read about the details of Amaechi's foreign account as rumored by the PDP and Wike, we are also yet to see the mansion Amaechi built within his 8 years as governor. But all we hear are unsubstantiated and spurious allegation here and there by Wike and his kangaroo commission of enquiry. The onus is on the one that allege to prove his case, and in this case, the court of law. No one can fathom why Wike is yet to approach court and stop all this noise about Amaechi.

donphilopus:
Wike says he will commit suicide if Amaechi is cleared as a Minister. Rest in Pieces to a blabbing blabber in advance. You won't be missed!! We love you but grave loves you more!!

where u there when Governor Wike said that?

Delta debt is about 600 billion

Ameachi is a big thief,arrogant. and a disgrace to the Niger delta people, to his supporters from south west and d North,if your ameachi is not a coward,why must he left d government without handing over note,if he is bold enough let him submit himself for probe without any cover whatsoever. Then we shall know whether your saint ameachi is a lion of buba or north.

Why are all Pro-APC threads making headline, but the anti ones don't?
Yesterday former Senate President David Mark trashed APC in the tribunal but all threads concerning it in the politics forum are hidden, talk less making front page

Well, all I know is that this list is not worth waiting for all this while.
And for Amaechi, make breeze blow wella make we see wetin dey fowl yanch.

have never believed that I can get a memory card so cheap as this and as reliable as follow come..
Have spent more than 5000 buying over and over and they have all been failing. Until I bought from konga. My sorrows are now over and am now rocking my memory cards..

where u there when Governor Wike said that?

please ask him bro,source that is tasteless
Mtchewww!!!

wike is such a petty minded person with a personality of shallow mindedness and a reputation for creating trouble where there is none......it has been amaechi this, amaechi that ever since he became governor of rivers state.....i really pity him because as it stands, should he carry on this way, he will easily end up as the most unserious governor in nigeria and, who knows, as possibly the worst governor to ever rule rivers state.

Amaechi is unstoppable.

He added: “However in keeping with Governor Amaechi’s ethos of transparent and accountable leadership we will again repeat the facts of the matter. Between 2013 and early 2015 revenue accruing to the government of Rivers state was cut in half due to swindling federal allocation to states.

“From about an average of N20 billion, the state began receiving between N9billion and N10 billion. By the middle of the first quarter of 2015 the state revenue dipped to as low as N6 billion. Salaries alone stood at over N9 billion besides other expenses.

“Government set aside the reserve fund as a rainy day fund and had needed to fall back to it to find salaries and projects.


Kudos to Amaechi for saving when things were good. A feat Jonah-daft never achieved at the center. A visionary leader that deserves a ministerial appointment. Right from day 1 he started saving.
Wike the thug has spent months now, the fool hasn't saved a kobo instead he borrowed 30 billion within 30 days.

crap

What of all the money he borrowed?

He save and Squander it recklessly, leaving the state in huge debt. Rivers is now borrowing to survive. Did you ever read the panel report before commenting. Wike said banks have to be deducting 1.2billion from their allocation monthly because of the debt Ameachi left behind. He ruin the state, using all the state resources to sponsor Buhari, selling all the state assets. His worst than Abacha

Rotimi Amaechi, the General of Common Sense Revolution.

- When others were squandering surplus, Amaechi was saving.
- When others started borrowing, Amaechi was spending from the reserve he saved.

Am surprised how some Wailers are here insulting Amaechi for spending what he saved when others were squandering surplus.
