Amaechi is also indicted in the corrupt disbursement of N2 billion designated for Agric Credit loans.

Amaechi was made minister of transportation by president Buhari despite allegations by the incumbent Rivers State government over alleged mismanagement of funds, abuse of executive powers, cronyism, and outright fraud during his tenure as Rivers State Governor from 2007 to 2015.


Amaechi is alleged to have been one of the chief financier of the election of president Muhammadu Buhari. In a televised event mid-2015, it was announced that Amaechi contributed 80% of the funds used to bring Buhari to office as President. In addition, Amaechi is praised by APC leaders for single-handedly funding the governorship campaigns of at least 5 APC governors including that of former Speaker, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State.

What more do you expect from a decampee? Amaechi should answer the reasons for his indictment and face the law, this is not about a member of a panel of enquiry looking for what to eat

Amechi was corrupt while in PDP. Now that he is in APC, he is no longer corrupt.

For example, if Olisa Metuh decampes to APC, he will no longer be corrupt.

Thats the way it works. In fact, no one has seen this document.

It is distraction when those involved are the over 70million internet Fashola or Amaechi or Fayemi all of the APC. Suppose they are from the PDP, they are rogues.

I concur. Though I don't support stealing , but stealing by these government officials has a way of increasing the cash flow in the country. Directly or indirectly, we all benefited..
