Former governor of Rivers State and ministerial nominee, Rotimi Amaechi, last Tuesday night visited Senate President Bukola Saraki where he begged the latter to help clear him ahead of the ministerial screening which starts next week Tuesday. Amaechi arrived the Maitama, Abuja residence of the Senate President at about 11:45pm and left at about 1am, last Wednesday morning. Ministerial nominees have intensified their lobby for the Senate’s clearance since the release of their names. The Senate must screen and confirm them before they could be sworn in.

In the case of Amaechi, no sooner did he have his names announced that the three senators from Rivers State, George Thompson Sekibo (Rivers East), Osinakachukwu Ideozu (Rivers West) and Olaka Nwogu (Rivers South-east) submitted a petition against Ameachi’s confirmation, alleging that the former governor allegedly misappropriated N70 billion belonging to Rivers State while as governor of the state.

A source privy to the visit of the former governor, said this would be the first time Amaechi would be visiting Saraki since the Senate President’s emergence. He had stayed away and even worked against the Senate president’s emergence which was against their party (APC’s) stand.Amaechi who drove himself to the residence in company of an aide pleaded with the Senate President to forget the past and help clear him.

The embattled former governor faces stiff opposition as the three senators from his state are set to oppose his nomination, just as several petitions are said to have already hit the Senate President’s table ahead of the screening. A source revealed that Amaechi succeeded in extracting a promise from the Senate President that he would do everything possible to make his clearance come easy. The former Rivers governor was the director general of the Buhari Campaign Organisation and was said to have spent huge funds during the APC presidential primary and the campaigns.

Saraki can do just little to help Amaechi, The help he truly needs is in Wike's hands and also that of the three senators from Rivers State.

He can as well visit Obama in Pluto. He's going nowhere and if he eventually did by hook or by crook, then Bubu is corruption himself

Interesting

Okay...let's watch the drama unfold before our eyes..

Amaechi Your case is now in the Hands of Rivers senators not the senate President. If you want to scale thru' visit your brothers in the senate not Saraki.

WIKE is a gentleman and a team player but Amaechi pride and arrogance won't allow him do the right thing.

Now he has to do a lot of bribing and begging to get to the next stage of his career.

WIKE is a political juggernaut.

MrALIVE:

Mr 7th senate dz z a matter of two different political parties with different Ideologies, Obanikoro was a minister under PDP nd ws cleared by a PDP member in d person of David mark who was the senate president. Amaechi's case z different here, we have Amaechi an APC member, with d senate president & PDP senators. pls reason properly before u quote me, pls dont drag politics into this, dey must work in accordance with the rules of the senate. thanks.

This has got to be the height of junk journalism. Totally speculative, not even an "unnamed source" was quoted to have said this was the purpose of the "visit".

Lolz!! Going after Saraki before he could have his ministers confirmed by the senate was the height of political naivety by PMB and his cronies!! They would soon find out in the comming days how powerful the senate president really is!!

Why else will he pay a visit to Saraki? Is to continue to long forgotten Sallah celebrations? You people never cease to amaze me.
