Press statement from the Rivers State PDP.

The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) insists that former governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is not qualified to be appointed as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is consequent upon the fact that the combined effect of Sections 66 (1) and 147 (5) of 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended and read together, disqualifies Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers State from becoming a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
In view of the foregoing, it is instructive to spell out the constitutional provision which states as follow:
Section 66 (1) (h) states thus: “No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or the House of Representatives if he has been indicted for embezzlement or fraud by a Judicial Commission of Inquiry or a Tribunal set up under the Tribunal of Inquiry Act or a Tribunal of Inquiry Law or any law by the Federal Republic of Nigeria or State Government which indictment has been accepted by the Federal or State Government respectively”.
Furthermore, Section 147 (5) states thus: “No person shall be appointed as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria unless he is qualified for election as a member of the House of Representatives”.

Suffice it to hold that Section 147 (5) as spelt out above unequivocally states that what qualifies or disqualifies a member of the House of Representatives applies to a Ministerial Nominee, for which former governor Chibuike Amaechi is one.

The PDP hereby states that Hon. Justice George Omereji Judicial Commission of Inquiry indicted Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, and the report is accepted by the Rivers State Government and the White Paper duly issued.

Against this background therefore, the PDP further insists and submits that by the provisions of the law as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution as amended, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi is not qualified to be a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

k

I hope so

Hit like if u think he will be a minister, share if u think otherwise..

The same way apc screamed Obanikoro was not qualified to be a minister and pdp went ahead and made him minister.Then why is pdp the one wailing now.

alrite...na full time go talk
remy boiz 'couple bands'...fetty running thru d city

It is difficult for me to see any of the nominee that is truly worthy of being minister but the cry of who is qualify is not supposed to be coming from the PDP who are same thing with Amaechi when we are looking for thieves.

If I were Wike,I would focus my attention on something away from Amaechi, for this Amaechi is already a Minister.

Seriously speaking Amaechi is a goner Saraki knows this, else....na fight go happen inside the red chamber

Confused people!
Quoting the constitution like pry sch pupil and interpreting it like kindergarten.
If they are watching the screening process right now, they should know the heartbreak that awaits them.
