The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the claim by the former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, that President Muhammadu Buhari is begging him to accept appointment as minister or Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) as tantamount to glorifying corruption.

The party said the claim also exposes the president’s “fight against corruption’ as anti-people and targeted at only members of the PDP.”

The party insisted that Amaechi is corrupt and has raped the state in an extreme manner, expressing reservations over the president’s stance, and his tolerance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, who has at several fora had boosted that he was a dependable ally of the president and also a prospective ministerial appointee for either the Defence Ministry or Ministry of Petroleum.

In a statement signed by the Jerry on behalf of the state Chairman of the party, Mr. Felix Obuah, the PDP said it was amazed at the manner Amaechi’s corrupt and fraudulent actions are continually being celebrated by his lieutenants, the APC folks in the state and Abuja.

In like manner, the PDP recounted the illegal disbursement of N2 billion agricultural loan, non-execution of the contract for the construction of the Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte Specialist Hospital, after the payment of the sum of $39,200,000, illegal withdrawal of N96 billion from the Rivers State Reserve Fund, illegal sale of Omuku, Afam, Eleme and Trans-Amadi Gas Turbines, as well as the sale of Olympia Hotel.

The PDP also recounted the fraudulent practices surrounding the mono-rail and other phony projects abandoned in the state, after billions of naira were reportedly paid to ghost contractors by the former governor.

The party recalled how under the state Chairman of the APC, Mr. Davies Ikanya, when he held sway as Commissioner for Special Duties, billions of naira earmarked for the rehabilitation of Rivers indigenes, who were deported from a neighbouring country to the state was mismanaged, an incident that led to him being disgraced from office.

The party also challenged the governorship candidate of the APC, in the state, Mr. Dakuku Peterside, to explain what happened to billions of naira on Operation Zero Potholes, a conduit pipe used to siphon government money under his watch as Commissioner for Works, during the Amaechi administration.

It maintained that Amaechi and members of the APC were corrupt and lacked qualities to hold public office in a government that claims to be fighting corruption and making ‘desired change’ in governance.

The party maintained that Amaechi’s quest for public office was driven by corruption, wondering why he would claim that President Buhari was begging him to take up ministerial position, when he was yet to clear corruption allegations against him. This, according to the party, “amounts to glorifying the former governor and corruption, if his claim, at a public function in Abuja that Buhari was begging him to accept a ministerial appointment is true.

“We make bold to say that under Amaechi as governor, corruption was legalised and institutionalised. There are obvious evidence attesting to the validity of this position and the PDP is fully ready to provide proof of its claims.
“Looking elsewhere from Amaechi and chieftain of the APC, and concentrating only on those who worked under former President Goodluck Jonathan and members of the PDP in the ‘fight against corruption’ amounts to witch-hunt and selective prosecution.

“As a president who “belongs to everybody and for nobody,” Nigerians would expect that you demonstrably commit yourself to doing the right thing by not having sacred cows and allowing Amaechi and other APC chieftains who are found to be corrupt to clear themselves by facing investigation and prosecution by credible anti-graft agencies, not those seeing to have compromised their actions. Doing this, will further earn you credibility and trust,” the party said.

Hmmm I don't even know who to believe anymore.I think BOTH parties are corrupt.The question now should be,which party is MORE corrupt?For me,I vividly think it is PDP
KOSSYABLAZE.

Birds of a feather. Politicians must understand that you cannot be a judge in your own case.

RichDad1:
PDP are saints

ahahahahahaha...."i love dat"...says who?

Customized campaign.


While Amechi campaigns that he does not like money, PDP campaigns that he does and that in fact he is corrupt.

My judgment: both the accuser and the accused are guilty of the object of accusation and hence should be ignored by PMB.

Let the dead bury themselves.

we know that he is corrupt.... even peeps on NAIRALAND are corrupt coz its in our blood.
