Nigeria’s Minister for Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi is grappling to save his wife, Mrs. Judith Amaechi from probe over the looting of N48billion from a contract she received from the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, when Nelson Brambaifa was the acting Managing Director.

Brambaifa, a lackey of Amaechi was appointed Acting MD of NDDC in January 2019. He was sacked in August of 2019 following allegations of corruption in NDDC under his leadership.

Sources at the NDDC conversant with the deal told Pointblanknews.com that Mrs. Amaechi had through her Non for profit organization, Empowerment Support Initiatives, ESI, received a N70billion contract from the agency to train Niger Deltans in skills such as Tailoring, Soap making, Carpentry and others.

After the award of contract to ESI, sources told Pointblanknews.com that Mrs Amaechi’s wife received N48billion.

Mrs. Amaechi’s ESI said it trained of over 2000 women and youths drawn from the twenty-there LGAs of RIVERS STATE and non-indigenes in COLD PROCCES SOAP MAKING, trained 100 women drawn from the 23 LGAs RIVERS STATE in elaborate fashion Designing in the following areas: Patterns and cuttings, Sewing, Finishing, Fashion &Designing, Colours, Packing, General Management of Business.

Other training ESI claimed was done includes: Elaborate skills Training programme in Fashion Designing Facilitated by a renowned Fashion Designer, Ade Bakare Couture for the following artisans in the fashion industry: Sewing and tailoring, Hat Making & Millinery, Bead Making, Fashion Illustration, Fashion Modelling.

Mrs Amaechi’s ESI was a major contractor with the NDDC and she used Brambaifa who was nominated for the acting MD position in NDDC by her husband to collect several contracts running into billions most of which were never done, a source at the agency told pointblanknews.com.

While one source said the N48billion was paid to ESI in split payment of N4billion monthly, another source at the Finance Department of the NDDC told pointblanknews.com that the N48billion was paid in installment payment of N4billion weekly.

A report of the scandalous contract has now been tabled before theAttorney General and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami, who in turn is alleged to have used it to threaten the Transport Minister.

Amaechi and Governor Ahmed Elrufai of Kaduna state are both eyeing the Presidency and Vice Presidency in 2023. They belong to a rival group in the All Progressive Congress, APC, that is opposed to the Malami group.

Sources told Pointblanknews.com that the report of the N48billion contract from the NDDC is now being used to silence Amaechi and torpedoed his ambition.

“Amaechi now runs to Tunde, Buhari’s PA to help him lobby Malami so his wife is not prosecuted.

This is why Amaechi no longer talks tough or says anything to his supporters about 2023 or his ambition. He is very worried,” a source close to the Transport Minister told Pointblanknews.com.

According to the source, Amaechi is afraid that the Attorney General may use the documents of the looting in his custody either now or in the future to blackmail him.

The former MD of NDDC, Prof Brambaifa, his sons, David and Christopher Brambaifa, former Executive Director of Finance, Chris Amadi, his wife Anna, Preye Brambaifa, Greg David Osuma, Clara Osuma, Mike Ayapaye, Uche Aleke, Sunday Aguebor, Brigadier Charles Nengite and Tony Chukwu, most of whom are Amaechi’s lackey were all accused of looting over N100billion within three months of Brambaifa’s tenure.

While Nengite is currently facing prosecution by the Military, the rest are yet to be prosecuted.

Sources told pointblanknews.com that Brambaifa had told investigators when he was first interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, that he gave N66billion to support the Buhari’s Presidential Campaign in 2019.

The N66billion according to insiders was allegedly giving to Amaechi who was a member of the APC Presidential Campaign team.

In 2017, Amaechi told a Nigerian Television Station during an interview that he is not corrupt and don’t like money.

“I have told Nigerians and I repeat today that I am not corrupt and that I don’t like money. I am not one swayed by money.

“I have lived a character that most Nigerians can tell you.

“I try as much as possible not to annoy God by saying I am honest but with all modesty, I am an honest Nigerian, and there are very few honest Nigerians.

In 2017, Amaechi told a Nigerian Television Station during an interview that he is not corrupt and don’t like money.

The lies these politicians dishes to get to power will marvel even the devil.

If the NPA's now suspended MD is an ally of the Auditor General, just watch her returned to her former position as the MD and given a clean bill of health as an anti corruption crusader instead of requesting for the remittance she failed to remit over the years.

Until these greedy politicians are checkmated, we won't go very far in this country

NDDC is just a cash cow for politicians

This Ikwerre thief again. Thank God Ikwerre isn't Igbo. We can't harbor such kleptomaniac elements in Biafra

Corruption fighting back.

This is how bad the people of this country can be. All because of one woman that is suspended, you are going to hear generational history of Amaechi now.

Corruption everywhere in Nigeria! When will corruption end in Nigeria?

Brambaifa, a lackey of Amaechi was appointed Acting MD of NDDC in January 2019. He was sacked in August of 2019 following allegations of corruption in NDDC under his leadership.

The level of corruption under the current regime is mind boggling ...

Just 8 months in acting capacity, 48bn has gone down the drain

Where Is Pondei sef

Cases of corruption like this will continue with agencies like nddc and nnpc except we do away with such agencies.

Am sure that money was for APC rivers state to use it for elections or make the state unsafe.

Buhari please find a way to quash all these useless agencies like nddc and rather increase derivation from 13%

E Be Many Many Things

Make Dem Bring One Nikki
I go tye am for 2years
Give am 9APY

E Go Be For Me Sef

So within just 8months of his office,the former chairman gave Amaechi's wife contract worth N70billion?
I honestly believe the reason why online media like SR, Pointblank news and others publish such ridiculous,beer parlor stories is because they really think many people drink to stupor such that they no longer know 1+1=2.
This is a very poor hatchet job meant for people that take "paraga" to stupor.

Naija

Pointblank is not a reputable media platform.

Corruption fighting back

For Amaechi to be a major player in this Government, Amaechi is always ahead, that man get sense.
But 45B naira is a lot, Amaechi has made more than enough money from previous positions as far back as early 2000's. His time as Governor in Rovers and a party to the then ruling party and Administration, the figures are mind Boggling

Amaechi said him no like money

Gworo chewing herdsmen fighting to bring hadiza back. That woman is gone for good nothing will make her come back. As for ameachi, if your wife get skeleton for her hand bag am afraid you may have to prepare your gloves to fight dirty cos this almajiris know how to fight dirty.
We need to hear Judith side of the story too.

I love this mud slinging between APC members
