Seeing Amaechi alone has dent the so called fight against corruption of the buhari Administration. In no distant time we will see the narrative of the "saint buhari". I pity Nigerians that are still falling for their propaganda apparatus.

i tire for wicked politics

This is very unfortunate in this country, i hope this bubu will understand what this country is passing through at this moment

PORT HARCOURT— Rivers State Commission of Inquiry on the Sale of Valued Assets set up by Governor Nyesom Wike, yesterday, submitted its report, claiming that N53 billion belonging to the state was allegedly diverted by the previous administration.

In a swift reaction, however, the media office of former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, said the purported “missing” N53 billion, was unfortunate and left much to be desired, describing the report as a last ditch trump card “in the hope that it will diminish the former governor’s towering stature as a statesman and honest Nigerian.”

Head of the commission of inquiry, Justice George Omereji, while submitting the report, said the commission received 27 memos and 142 exhibits, while 25 witnesses testified before it.

He called on the state government to act fast on the report, saying: “We hope that the government should act fast and by the time the government looks into this report and acts fast, it will be able to recover billions that are still stashed where they kept them. That money belongs to Rivers people and I hope that the government should act fast and recover the funds so that we can use it for the people of Rivers State.”

Receiving the report, Governor Wike assured that the report would be implemented and that it would not be like other reports of commissions that were not acted upon by previous administrations.

He said: “This will not be like other report. We will make sure that we swing into action immediately to see that the recommendations made by the commission are implemented. We will not be intimidated by anybody or group of persons. Many things have been done to discredit the commission. But for me, it is when your hands are not clean that you begin to use the media to discredit people’s work.”

Speaking with newsmen after the submission, Justice Omereji claimed that N53 billion belonging to the state was allegedly diverted by the previous administration.

He said among other things, the commission recommended that those behind the alleged missing funds should be made to refund them.

He said: “On the billions of naira said to have been stashed away in some places, there was the sum of N55 billion in the State Reserve Fund. Between 2014 and May 2015, they were able to remove N53 billion and we found out that the N53 billion was not used for the projects in the state.

“The money went to individuals. From the papers submitted to us, we also found out that the money was given to people they like. We went to the site of the Justice Karibi Whyte Hospital, we did not see anything at all.”

Amaechi reacts

A statement from Amaechi’s Media Office, read in part: “The mischief is all the more evident as the funds referred to are funds from the Rivers State reserve fund which was duly approved by the Rivers State House of Assembly and whose expenditure were duly captured and accounted for. Ordinarily, we might not have responded to the mischief of Mr. Wike knowing that having failed with his various desperate tactics to stop Amaechi’s nomination as a minister, he has embarked on this last ditch effort which is his trump card in the hope that it will diminish the former governor’s towering stature as a statesman and an honest Nigerian.

“However, in keeping with Governor Amaechi’s ethos of transparent and accountable leadership, we will again repeat the facts of the matter. Between 2013 and early 2015, revenue accruing to the government of Rivers State was cut in half due to dwindling federal allocation to states. From about an average of N20 billion, the state began to receive between N9 billion and N10 billion. By the middle of the first quarter of 2015 the state revenue dipped to as low as N6 billion. Salaries alone stood at over N9 billion besides other expenses. Government has set aside a reserve fund as a rainy day fund and had need to fall back to it to fund salaries and projects. The details of the expenditure were clearly captured and this information which was already in the public domain was shared with the incoming administration and the Omereji panel.”

The statement added that “government business should be transparent and honest and if indeed Mr. Nyesom Wike understands the basics of governance, then he should know that rather than playing to the gallery with his red herring of a panel, he should simply go to court and prove his spurious allegations of corruption. He should go to court if he is sure there is corruption. Spending resources left behind for the betterment of Rivers people by a prudent and thrifty government on frivolities is indeed irresponsible and unbecoming for a person who aspires to public office, especially that of the exalted office of governor.

Just burn your APC Card if you have any and be rest assure of rest

IF THIS TRUE THEN SARAKI IS THE EPITOME OF CHANGE

I am just asking, i heard the bomb went off in his estate

If your brother or sister were part of the death this morning you would join me to rebuke this ineptitude Govt. dont play politics with every thing young man.

PuciPrince:
Another wailer... May God give u small sense

APC played a dangerous politics to grab power, i only pity buhari according to shiek gumi

I m saying this with all sincerity, Buhari they say was a saint and honourable man, would have thrown the towel if he is what they say he is, can you imagine bokoharam overrunning Yobe and thereafter several bomb blasts. WHAT KIND OF CHANGE IS THIS, IS IT CHANGE FOR POCKET OF CHANGE FOR JUST HUNTING PERCEIVED ENEMY

I have say this several time and still say it again Buhari emergence as President will only empower boko haram what we will only see is media not reporting their activities like they did before. Everybody should empower their regional militants before they will taken unaware.

Ask him were he fear pass in Nigeria South south

NaijaTalkTown:
Mouth dey pain you? Da dis kind people go the shout shun sir shun sir if dem see Buhari. Nonsense!

looking at all the military witnesses that testify against Wike they are major Hausa names "Northerners" and those that testify for Wike's are majorly southerners, what does that suggest, Buhari should be very careful not set naija on flame.

In previous governments we have some element of neutral and technocrat but this govt they are all card carrying member of APC, who now runs the party, now that person like lie mohammed and his likes are now minister will they ever discuss nigeria issue in the council or they will be concentrating on APC retaining power.

Danbazu will be minister of defence cos Buhari cannot give any meaningful minister to the south

Buhari could as well pick these guys in eagle square and save Nigerians these stress of not have a government for 6months

So Nigeria wasted 4 months waiting for Amaechi, Audu Ogbeh, Lai Mohammed and Fashola to be unveiled as Ministers? This government is a JOKE
