Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has declared that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has no powers to investigate financial transactions of his government.

He said before the EFCC can investigate his government, the anti-graft agency must first vacate a Federal High Court judgment that declared that it cannot investigate the financial transactions of the Rivers State Government.

The governor made the declaration on Thursday when he received the Group Managing Director (Designate) of Zenith Bank, Ebenezer Onyeagwu.

“EFCC has no powers to look into our financial transactions. You cannot be giving our financial transactions to the EFCC, because that it is illegal.

“Unless the EFCC sets aside the judgment, they have no powers to look into our financial transactions. Not that we are afraid, but due process must be followed.”

He said that if Zenith Bank refuses to obey the Court judgment, Rivers State Government will be compelled to file the necessary processes to ensure that the right thing is done.

Wike congratulated Onyeagwu on his appointment as the Group Managing Director (Designate) of the Zenith Bank, stating that his appointment was due to commitment and hardwork.

On his part, Onyeagwu congratulated the Rivers State Governor on his re-election, adding that “everyone of us in Zenith Bank is very pleased over the success you have recorded . We also want to use this opportunity to congratulate you on your victory at the last election and wish for a glorious second term”.

On the reason for his visit, the Zenith Bank GMD Designate said he was in Rivers State to inform the Governor that he would take over the leadership of the bank on June 1, 2019.

The same constitution he paraphrases has contradictory lines. Our constitution needs to be amended, and not amended by anyone who has held any government position or who is in government.
.
We live in a country where one set of family and friends rule, and they are liken as though they share monarchical royalty of rulership.
.
The history of Wike has always revolved around River State's government, from one position to another.
.

Let's be judgmental; these thieves have been ruling us since independence. Why else will sb rule as a governor, then a military ruler, then a senator, then a minister, then a president, then a senator, then a commissioner, then an advisor, then he puts his child to continue the cycle when old?
.
Are you a devil? Are you the only one in the country! May God P Y'all.
.
Be less bothered, when we ascend that office; y'all corrupt (then) past government officials (and including your children) will suffer the pain you caused to others; all our monies looted will be uncovered.
.
Gentlemen of the country, I say to you, be less bothered'bout them. No stone will go uncovered in the nearest future.

thief ole barawo

He is ranting because of the perpetual injuction odili collected from the court...same reason amaechi could not be probed.rather they set up a commission of enquiry to look into the case brought against him(amaechi).
