Editor’s Note: Transport minister and former governor of Rivers
state Rotimi Amaechi is a controversial political figure who
attracts great controversy, but is their an organised political
witch hunt against him? Is he being shielded by President
Muhammadu Buhari? Tope Michael examines the case.
Whenever the military officers and leaders of the Peoples
Democratic Party who looted the national wealth are
exposed, invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission or charged to court, some hack writers are
quick to accuse the Buhari government of political witchhunt
and selective persecution.
In particular, the government of President Buhari is accused
of shielding Mr Rotimi Amaechi from prosecution.
While not defending Buhari or Amaechi, it is necessary to
point out that the Wike government in Rivers state has been
challenged by Amaechi to charge him to court if he has
evidence that he stole a dime while he was governor of
Rivers state for eight years.
Since Governor Wike set up a judicial commission of
enquiry which probed and indicted Amaechi why has he not
directed his Attorney General to file charges against
Amaechi in the high court of Rivers state?
Similarly, after his inauguration in October 2014 the lousy
Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose accused ex-governor
Kayode Fayemi of building a N3 billion governor’s lodge in a
poor state like Ekiti.
But instead of converting the lavish mansion into a 5-star
hotel at Ado Ekiti Mr Fayose is presently living in the place.
What a hypocrite!
The fellow too has cried out that Dr Fayemi looted the
treasury of the poor state. Since Mr. Fayose claims to have
evidence of Dr. Fayemi’s looting spree why has he not
directed his Attorney-General of Ekiti State to drag the ex-
governor to the high court in Ekiti state for corruption?

How many ex governors have you heard that are charged to court? EFCC should do the needful investigate like they do to others invite him for questioning, get warrants from the magistrate court to lock him up For weeks or better still don't release him like Dasuki.

Every time you guys come out to shout take him to court, no we should do it the EFCC way. There is no witch hunt there.

Then maybe they should petition the efcc if they feel they mismanaged state fund in anyway and let the public know if the efcc refuse to take due action..I think efcc is more into federal fund (campaign fund)...
