The RIVERS State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has directed permanent secretaries in the state to produce account details of their ministries’ expenditure over the last 18 months.

Wike also advised the permanent secretaries to shun partisan politics as career civil servants, adding that the role some of them played in the closing days of the immediate past administration was politically-motivated.

The governor, who addressed the permanent secretaries during a meeting at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Tuesday, expressed regret that some of them helped the immediate past administration to illegally withdraw funds from government coffers up to May 28, 2015.

“I want full details and printout of every ministry’s account in the last 18 months. I will not accept any handover note without an accompanying account details.

“The government was coming to a close and some of you were busy signing cheques on 26th, 27th and 28th of May. On May 28, the Transition Committee called most of you and you refused to cooperate because they told you I would not be sworn in,” Wike told the permanent secretaries.

The governor, who promised that he would not embark on a witch-hunt of any civil servant irrespective of his role during the electioneering period, maintained that no civil servant would be allowed to sabotage the efforts of his administration.

He, however, urged the permanent secretaries to work with his administration to revive the state and put back smiles on the faces of the people.

The governor added that all backdated employments and indiscriminate issuance of certificates of occupancy by the immediate past administration would be re-visited.

Wike specifically directed the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands and Survey to produce relevant land documents for examination.

The permanent secretaries were led to the meeting by the Head of Service, Mr. Samuel Longjohn.

amaechi mr anti corruption is in for a long thing.

Na only 18months? E 4 b 18yrs

Any account details not from 2007,is a complete waste of time. Why 18months?so the people of rivers don't deserve to know account details from 2007?If wike wants to probe the govt of amaechi,he should start from 2007,if he wants people to take him serious.

this is why some people never progress. They allow sentiments to becloud everything. Instead of you guys to urge him to get down to the business of governing the state, you are commending him for going on a revenge mission. When maladministration hits the state, I wonder who you'll blame.

but you were hailing buhari the time he promise to probe GEJ. hypocrite.

Amechi is heading to prison. Buhari will not save him

The 18 months covers from when Amaechi started siphoning money to fund nPDP and APC, paying salaries for states like Osun and bankrolling Buhari.

[size=14pt]By the way, I learnt the North is no longer comfortable making Amaechi SGF as earlier promised! Initially, it was VP, then SGF, now nobody knows, may be they will offer him ambassadorial post to a far country like Russia so that he will be far from seat of government. The North can never trust such a rabble rouser around Buhari[/size]

Gov. Wike doing the right thing!

Great move. Every government should be responsible for their actions.

You're talking rubbish!
