THE Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, said it has taken notice of a press release by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to ask the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu to step aside because some Justices accused and being investigated of corruption had curiously described their investigation as act of persecution by the Buhari administration for not favouring the All Progressives Congress, APC, in election matters arising from the 2015 general elections in some states. 


 








Rivers APC Chairman, Chief (Dr) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, JP, who in a statement today said “the call by the PDP flies in the face of reason, fairness, common sense and cause of justice”, reeled out thus:


 


“It is a known fact that embattled Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and John Inyang Okoro of the Supreme Court who are currently under DSS investigation for serious corruption charges only resorted to the cheap, convenient, everyday reaction of people caught red-handed committing crimes in order to divert attention away from the grave reality confronting them especially when faced with sufficient evidence.” 


 


“Indeed, it is even more disconcerting that PDP in the said call, refused to recognise the naked fact that by accusing the Ministers of attempting to induce them to pervert the course of justice, the accused Hon. Justices introduced unrelated allegations against innocent persons unconnected with the matter for which they are being investigated, something that many accused persons easily, conveniently and cheaply resort to when caged. The questions that quickly come to mind include: were the huge sums of money reportedly found in their homes given to them by the Ministers they are accusing? Do the petitions for which the Justices are being investigated have anything to do with Amaechi or Onu? Are Justices of the Supreme Court unaware that relevant laws of the land imposes on them the strict duty to properly and formally report inducement of any kind in a timely manner or risk prison term of not less than 2 years?”


 


“We urge Mr. President and Nigerians to completely disregard PDP call for the sacking of Amaechi and Onu. Why should they be sacked? What crime did they commit for PDP to call for their sack? These fine gentlemen did nothing wrong. Mr. President should not and cannot act based on mere accusations from the Supreme Court Justices without any iota of proof or evidence to back their claims. And we should not forget that these Justices only started making these false accusations against Amaechi & Onu, after they were arrested by the DSS.”


 


“PDP call is fraudulent, unnecessary, a distraction from the real problems of fighting corruption in the Judiciary. They should allow Mr. President fight corruption without their childish, partisan distractions. The President Buhari’s fight against corruption is about Nigeria and moving Nigeria forward.”


 


“The PDP should rather be calling for the expulsion and sack of their governors and senate minority leader from the South-South region who has been involved in the pervasion of justice in governorship electoral matters by financially inducing the Supreme Court Justices under investigation.”


 


“Yes, as a party, we re-affirm our belief that the PDP governors and Senate Minority Leader who perverted justice and then turned around to orchestrate wrongful and false accusations against the Transportation Minister, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi through the Supreme Court Justices in order to cover their tracks, crime, distract attention and destroy Amaechi, are the ones that the PDP should expel from their party, banish from politics and call for their resignation or sacking.”


 


“Again, we stand by our earlier statement on the ignominious roles of the governors of Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Delta States, and the Senate Minority leader in the pervasion of the course of justice at the apex court and the subsequent failed attempt to pin the Justices’ travails on Amaechi. In the days ahead, more details will continue to come out. For instance, it is already in the open that Governor Nyesom Wike held a secret meeting in a hotel in Owerri, Imo State with one of the Supreme Court Justices that was arrested by the Directorate of State Services (DSS). The agenda of that meeting was for the apex court Justice to assist Wike to get a favourable judgement and pervert the course of justice in the Rivers State governorship election matter that was then about going to the apex court.”

Nigeria and Nigerians can't relent in making me laugh.................... Many months has past after election, we are styill talking about election, juges should face their trial , punished and disgraced....... Wike and others shall pay for all the blood they shed in cause of those past election....Am not PDP or APC but concerned Nigerian

Sai baba

The question is, why is it so difficult for Wike to take Amaechi to court more than eight months after receiving the commission's report purportedly indicting him?

Surely, the report didn't find Amaechi guilty of any wrongdoing. If it did, Wike would waste no time in disgracing his number one political foes.

And if PDP expect PMB to drop any of his ministers on mere allegations, they're on a very long thing.

I don't think the president will or have the guts to sack Amaechi. He simply can't bite the finger that withdraw the money from the ATM. Amaechi was the president ATM

Apc is a scam abeg!

APC calling PDP's call for Amaechi sack Frivolous and mischievous is scandalous and horendous.

Who is fighting corruption better? GEJ sacked Stella Oduah and Barth Nnaji following public concern for alleged (not proven by any court or panel of enquiry) corruption and conflict of interest respectively, now PMB, is giving a deaf ear to the alleged corruption of his cohorts.

Lies from the Pit of Hell. Your GEJ encouraged Corruption. and was a Hero of Corruption. Stella Odauh resigned to Contest for the Senate seat and Barth Nnaji voluntarily stepped down because he had interest in Acquiring one of the Electricity DISCO being privatized.

The same presidency who called on the NJC to suspend the judges facing trial is refusing to suspend its own ministers !! What an irony

No Sir, you got it wrong, Ministers for Health (Onyebuchi), Education (Wike), Obanikoro and Labaran Maku all contested elections, they stayed on in their various positions until some months close to the elections while Stella Oduah was asked to resign because of public outcry concerning the 'cars'. She was subsequently replaced by the former Road Safety Marshal.
Bath Nnaji could have stayed on if the President permitted him, GEJ came under pressure to oust him because of his ownership of Power Geometrics, a company he owned before becoming a minister and was reportedly interested in buying one of the privatized power generation plants in the South East. GEJ gave him the option of jettisoning the Geometrics interest or resignation, he chose to resign ...that was integrity from both Bath and GEJ, that integrity is lacking now in PMB, a former Mr integrity.

Were you informed your money was missing in your account because Amaechi stole your ATM ? Why don't you mind your business over matters that will not yield you any dividend ? Did Wike say Rivers money was found in Amaechi's Account. They are simply being treathened by the growing popularity of the man.

Even Deziani that messed up big time was never releaved of her duty or was it Odua gate scandal that PDP covered up till today ..did anybody die because GEJ refused to remove the women ? I beg this people should stop their baseless campaign on this page

It is because of pple like u that is making this con3 and our president hve the moral to do the injustice he is doing because u dnt tell him d truth. Hw can u say d accusations leveled on thse ministers are mere?. I'd dey are mere then the accusations on d judges by the DSS is also mere allegations and d judges shuld not step dwn. Imagine.

I know u are ignorant but let me let you u know that the governor cant really investigate criminal cases. it is d duty of the police or law enforcement agents to investigate and prosecute suspects of criminal activities and since the law enforcements have refused to do their work becos of partisanship, it is left for citizens lik u n i to pressurise the law enforcement agents to do their work and stop supporting n covering corrupt suspects lik Ameachi n co
