Amaechi Faults Wike On $150m Allegation by Ofunaofu: 5:36am On Feb 09, 2016
Former governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation, Mr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has described the statement credited to Governor Nyesom Wike that he spent $150 million during the general election as an imaginary tale, a bogus and fallacious concoction. Amaechi also said that all efforts by Wike and his cohorts to denigrate his name in the media will fail. In a statement by the media office of the minister, Amaechi said that it was worrisome and sad that Governor Wike picked a church, a sacred temple of God, to tell his tales. He said, ‘’It continues to baffle us, like most right- thinking Nigerians, that Governor Wike will stand in a church, a solemn place of worship, and carelessly, brusquely tell such a profound lie. He condescendingly descended to falsely and indecorously shout corruption against Amaechi without providing a single shred of evidence to back his claims. ‘’The ‘story-story’ this time is about another phantom $150 million that Amaechi purportedly stole from Rivers State Government coffers and siphoned to his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, within 18 days, from December 1 to 18 of 2014. This new scurrilous fabrication by Governor Wike is in sync with the one-point agenda of the Wike administration, which is to throw as much mud as possible at former governor Amaechi, hoping that some may at least stick. All sorts of spurious stories about alleged corruption and stealing of state funds against the Amaechi administration, have been bandied in the media with no attempt to substantiate or prove these distorted false claims that completely make nonsense of common sense. ‘’Even, when Amaechi challenged the Wike administration and its agents to use any constitutionally available legal process or procedure to prove their jaundiced, deceitful allegations against him and his administration, they have rather elected to do their own corruption probe, trial and conviction in the media, and now, even inside our solemn places of worship. "Why would a government be so determined to desecrate and destroy every institution all in the name of playing politics?’’ He challenged Governor Wike to explain to Nigerians how the money transfer was done and where it was transffered from. ‘’Governor Wike should tell Nigerians who collected the $150 million on behalf of APC. From which state government account(s) was the $150 million taken? How was the $150 million taken and given to APC? Was it by wired transfer from Rivers State Government account(s) to APC account(s)? ‘’Rivers people and Nigerians are indeed sick and tired of this old worn-out trick of Governor Wike to hoodwink and distract Rivers people from the real issues. Making a new spurious allegation of corruption against Amaechi every day will not make Rivers people forget that most of the beautiful, working institutions built by the Amaechi administration are now being allowed to rot away despite of the billions of naira that had accrued to the state and the billions of naira borrowed by Wike. Rivers people want to know why weeds and grasses have taken over the beautiful schools built by Amaechi?" http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/amaechi-faults-wike-on-150m-allegation/

It does not take rocket science to know that Amaechi bankrolled APC presidential campaign. If not, why is he being rewarded with a super ministerial post, NDDC chair etc.

This Amaechi is a stewpid man.
Besides, if Bubu is truly fighting corruption without being biased, this explanation is what Amaechi should be giveng to the EFCC and not to us, just like Dasuki.


But will that ever happen?





Your guess is as good as mine

Wike is the governor of a state and a public official and he shouldn't be making reckless and irresponsible statements without documented evidence and facts. What's stooping him from showing Nigerians where the money came from, how it was stolen or diverted and in what way or manner, who it was sent to, who cashed the check and so on.


Rocket scientists work with facts, data and precision, not with tales, baseless rubbish without facts provided to back up scientific discoveries or rocket lunch..


Stop denigrating the science profession with such lame and unintelligent talk. Science is serious business and not rumor mongering market women nonsense..



These lose and reckless talking buffoons are a sad disgrace ...

Do not give yourself high blood pressure holding forth for politicians, especially the APC, they can deny you at anytime.

If Buhari makes such allegations, you will say he has access to facts based on his position & Wike makes his own, it becomes spurrious as if he does not have access to facts based on his own position.

Gerrarahia man!

If ministry of transport is the reward of his funding the party then why was Diezani the cancer actress given that portfolio? Probably because she serviced GEJ wella

If Wike got evidence am pretty sure he would have filed them long ago, stop being fooled by his cries. Amaechi ain't a saint but I believe Wike is just blabbing. At least all those who received funds from Dasuki had been singing like parrots and there are enough evidence on ground for the case to go on

I agree with Amaechi, Wiked should go to court an present his evidence or should keep silent and face governance.
