Rivers State Commissioner for Housing Barr
Emma Okah said the former
Rivers State Governor Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi is mischievous by
accusing the State Ezenwo Nyesom Wike of
witch- hunting him through
probes.
Okah said this in reaction to press comments
credited to Amaechi that the
Rivers State Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike is
witch-hunting him by probing
certain aspects of the past administration
through a Judicial Commission
of Enqury.
According to Okah, there is nothing wrong or
immoral for an administration
that received and managed about three Trillion
Naira on behalf of the
people of Rivers State to explain some of her
actions suspected to be
fraudulent. The people have the right to know,
he said
“The Nyesom Wike administration is merely
protecting the people’s interest
by inquiring into how public resources were
wasted, stolen or
misappropriated by the past administration
and every lover of democracy
and rule of law should not complain, blackmail
the State Government or
divert attention from that”, the statement
added.
Explaining further, Okah said that the simple
thing Amaechi needs to do,
if invited by any commission of enquiry, is to
state his own side of the
story and tender documents to buttress his
case. There is nothing to fear
if his hands are clean, he said.
The Commissioner also said that certain things
must be clarified by the
Amaechi Government, noting that the State
cannot close her eyes to some
grave allegations of corruption against the
Amaechi government.
“Is it proper for Amaechi to sell off 70% of the
Rivers State Government
interests in the State’s four power stations
(Eleme, Omoku, Afam and Trans
Amadi, Port Harcourt) at the cost of $
302,400M and the entire money was
withdrawn between December 2014 and April
2015 without any document of
transaction or payment into any Government
account. Who owns the Bureau de
Change Company that received the money and
who authorized the receipt and
where is the money?
Is it witch-hunt for Amaechi to pay out $39M
to his cronies for the
purpose of building the Karibi Whyte Mega
Hospital and till today, not a
single block is standing?
Is it witch hunt for the former Governor to
withdraw the sum of N812M in
May 2015 for the purpose of furnishing his
private house in Asokoro, Abuja
even when workers salaries and pensions were
in arrears?
Is it witch-hunt for the sum of N200M to be
withdrawn in cash from the
various accounts of Ministry of Works on May
28, 2015 for no official
purpose.
Is it witch hunt for the Amaechi government to
sell two aircraft belonging
to the State and till today there is no word on
the sale proceeds or the
processes?
Is it witch-hunting for the sum of N2Bn
Agricultural loan which Amaechi’s
government took from the CBN to be paid out
to fake cooperative groups
created by his aides as grants? Should Rivers
people not know who and who
took these monies as the State will repay the
money to CBN?
Is it witch-hunting to seek explanation on the
bogus monorail project
which has been adjudged to be the biggest
fraud conduit in Rivers State
under the former government? “, Okah
queried.
Finally, should Amaechi not explain how he
budgeted N2Bn for scholarship
to Rivers scholars abroad and before his eyes,
the Consultants who paid
the money took out N900M as their fees,
leaving only N1.1BN for the
stranded students and yet Amaechi cries witch-
hunt.
Therefore Wike is not witch-hunting Amaechi.
Rivers people expect Amaechi
to face these questions with the same bravery
that he is known for.
Shouting about witch-hunt is not the solution,
Okah added.

Ok

Hmm.... Rotimi ...
Buhari must hear this.

Figures making me dizzy

Ameachi will account for all his misdeed one day!

Wao, all these governors, that's why they fight to be governors

Kai! Rotimi A. I Fear U

Gbam!!! He should give account of all the money with the same bravery he is known for. Y has he become so quiet now?

It's only Amaechi's kindred in madness that believe he is a saint!

Wow..If he truly committed such frauds then he's a real judas of Ubima

Ameachi need to state his own side of the story and clear his name if he's innocent.

A

In nigeria, this is witch-hunting but it is the right thing to do.

ain't u happy for me

Amaechi must be made to account for every single naira he frittered away as governor of Rivers state. His case is peculiar because I don't think there is any governor more reckless with people's money as Amaechi since the new democratic dispensation.

The next 4 years will be very interesting. When this probing starts in Nigeria, 99% of APC change criers will become the new tenants in all our prisons.

Wike is destroying amaechi political career ,if these allegations keep mounting ,even buhari will have no choice but to keep amaechi at a very distance to office of the president.

Very painful to read all these and my Iwofe road and all d surrounding roads around that area are totally abandoned. With all these one will be surprised if PMB will still look in d direction of this Amaechi. 200million being withdrawn a day before handover doesn't just make sense

Is Buhari clean?, When Amaechi was spending billions here and there, did he ask him where these money came from? Amaechi will not fall alone, the man knows how to make noise. Buhari will keep quiet, reminds me of Ibori and Yaradua.

Chaaiii,by d time Wike finishes dealing wt Amaechi,he will be too smelly to be touched wt even a long pole by Buhari.

Let dem probe themselves jor THIEVES

@least 50percent of this allegations must be true. Fr a fact I can confirm that of monorail,bt last last this men are all the same #vegatalks

Damn!!!

The Lizard of Ubima must account for all the money he looted. I hope the Daura President has the balls to jail the Lizard.

Wicked

very soon ameachi's aides will refute d claim....ameachi's chances of becoming a minister is obviously dwindling as d day passes by looking at all dis allegations on ground...

Only a fool will believe this. If a honorable commissioner can make this baseless accusations the am sorry for RIVERS STATE
If u have this evidence why not publish them and send it to EFCC
Please let's be matured here. Ameachi is no Saint and if wike has evidence of corruption against ameachi he knows EFCC chairman's number and not to play this childish game
