The immediate past governor of Rivers State Hon. Rotimi Amaechi has just been screened by the Senate following his nomination as minister. Shortly after the Senate President Senator Bukola Saraki acknowledged receipt of his curriculum vitae, Amaechi was told to highlight his achievements as a former speaker and ex-governor. This led to the question-and-answer session when Amaechi answered questions from the senators.



Earlier the senate minority leader Senator Godswill Akpabio said the PDP senators had resolved not to ask Amaechi questions bordering on the screening, disclosing they have petitions against the nominee. The Senate Leader, Senate Ali Ndume however opposed the stance of Akpabio and the opposition,saying as a former Speaker and Governor, Amaechi could as well simply bow and go.



On his role as a former chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum(NGF), Amaechi said,"'We refined governance and repositioned leadership under my tenure as Governor.All we did in the Governors Forum was to defend the rights of Nigerians.I find it difficult to do what people want me to do, if it clashes with my principles.Nigerian politicians believe there is need for compromise but not when it clashes with my principles."





On development in key sectors, Amaechi added that: "I believe there are resources in the Niger-Delta, that is why there is Militancy.If I become the Minister for Niger Delta, the East - West Road will be first to be completed. If you invest in Agriculture & invest in Technology, you will hire as many workers as you can get. In Rivers State we established two farms.We must improve on the Social Rights of the people; if you have peace you'll have investors.Why people don't invest in Nigeria is because the cost of investment is higher than the profit' We must also invest in Education; Some of our youths are unemployable".


On corruption, he further said: "I have never collected bribe in my life.If they send a girl to you to do something for her and you sleep with the girl, you are corrupt.Corruption is difficult to define. If we keep to the rule of law, allow a Governor to function as a Governor, that will be it."

which kind lie be dix?

Of all the lies by APC, this one is the greatest

Even though I am on Ameachi's side, this is very hard to believe. Which Nigerian politician doesn't collect bribe? Some just collect more than others.

Naturally all thieves are presumed innocent until they are caught RED HANDED

So Mr Amaechi.... Keep flexing ur Political loots till u're being docked....

Hahahahahaha, Lion of UBIMA small small na. You wan kill WIKE and Wailers ni?

Maybe he gives bribe

lion of Ubima, slayer of Judas of okrika,.Nemesis of wicked wike, carry goooooo

If he is bold enough to say that in front of national and international viwers, then it might be true. If anyone says it lies, just come up with evidence.

Lol. The devil is a liar.

Amaechi doesn't collect bribes, rather, bribes collect him. Oloshi!

How did Amaechi become governor in the first place? Did money not exchange hands before the court gave a ridiculous judgement in Amaechi's favour and made him governor?

He was previously speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly for eight years. So was he trying to say that throughout those years, nobody bribed him neither did he receive kickbacks from top business and politicians under the corrupt Odili and Obasanjo era?

Does Amaechi think we are fools or what?

Rilly our senators only protect their fellow politician instead of the masses rilly its sad... I hope the tides will change soon

Same people are so good at this thing called lie. Jahi

[size=20pt]Lying liars always lying[/size]
There's no doubt the devil must have shouted [size=20pt]Jesus! [/size]

Finally!
The mother of all lies been told and yet to be told has been told.
Sir just look for one lie give boko boys and Nigeria will be the most peaceful place on the planet.

Lol
.

I unconsciously shouted Jesus when I heard that word from Amechi's mouth

But you've given

I was dumbfounded when I heard it
I couldn't close mouth for a minute

Fallacy!

All hail the General...

Is wike dead yet

Hmmm

And he is calling Jonathan a thief. if Amuechi never collect bribe that means Jonathan is also a saint

I believe him whole-heartedly.

Like if u believe him too


p.s- I'm not begging for "likes"

On corruption, he further said: "I have never collected bribe in my life.

am not surprised, he once told us he doesn't like money. imagine the naked lies this man is dishing out.

If they send a girl to you to do something for her
and you sleep with the girl, you are corrupt.Corruption is
difficult to define.

some illiterates in APC were all over the place screaming, just becos GEJ said stealing isn't. Exactly the same as corruption.
