Grundig:
This is not the first time this news is makinmg the rounds.

This news made headlines just before the elecxtions or after GEJ had lost but Amaechi failed to make any statemnt to that effect.

My question is what's the difference btweewn then and now? I mean GEJ was Sufficiently weakened at the time the letter was revealed so he coiuldnt have gone after Amaechi espcially as he had the headache known as sanusi at th time.

VulgarVulvas:
Amaechi denying now because he knows he has no integrity among his treacherous band.

"if he can betray his brother and people, he will sooner or later betray us" - Sanusi to Buhari.

Nigeria's Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has denied reports that he leaked the famous letter ex CBN governor, Emir Muhammadu Sanusi, wrote to ex President Goodluck Jonathan over missing $20bn crude oil funds.

He released a statement to this effect:

Our attention has been drawn to reports in the media that tend to infer and suggest that immediate past governor of Rivers State and now Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. ChibuikeRotimi Amaechi surreptitiously and clandestinely‘leaked’ a letter written by former Central Bank ofNigeria (CBN) governor and now Emir of Kano, Sanusi Muhammad 11 to then President Goodluck Jonathan on the non-remittance of $49.8 billion from oil sale to the federation account. This is further from the truth and what exactly transpired as regards Amaechi’s involvement in that Sanusi letter.

To put the records straight, we want to categorically state that:

1. A concerned and patriotic Nigerian, who felt sufficiently troubled with what was happening then, gave a copy of the Sanusi letter to Amaechi in Amaechi’s capacity as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF). Like Amaechi, we should appreciate that concerned Nigerian’s patriotism.

2. When Amaechi got the letter, he spoke with Sanusi, who was still the CBN governor to confirm the authenticity of the letter. Sanusi confirmed to Amaechi that he wrote the letter. During their conversation, Amaechi made it abundantly clear to the then CBN governor that the bleeding of the nation had to be stopped, all non-remitted funds remitted and that he (Amaechi) was going to use the letter to do whatever is in the best interest of the nation and Nigerians, which was the stoppage of the non-remittance and the recovery of all the non-remitted funds from oil sale. The CBN Governor didn’t agree with Amaechi on the way forward.

3. Considering that the letter was given to Amaechi as Chairman of the Governors’ Forum, he shared the letter with his colleague governors first, and with Senator Bukola Saraki(now Senate President), who before and around that period was doing some work or/and investigation around the oil sector in the Senate.

4. Around that period, a delegation from the United States of America government, from the offices of the Secretaries of State and Defense visited Amaechi in Port Harcourt to discuss the issue of oil theft in Nigeria. From their records, they gave Amaechi figures of billions of dollars (about $7 billion dollars, annually) that was being lost to oil theft in Nigeria. They were discussing the issue and figures of oil theft, and that was how the CBN governor’s letter to PresidentJonathan came up. In the presence of journalists covering the visit, Amaechi brought out the Sanusi letter to the visiting American delegation to buttress the point that Nigeria was losing far more money to non-remittance of proceeds from oil sale into the federation account, which everyone seemed to concur,was in itself, another form and another dimension to the issue of oil theft.

5. To suggest, infer or even extrapolate that Rt. Hon. Chibuike RotimiAmaechi surreptitiously, clandestinely or underhandedly ‘leaked’ the CBN governor’s(Sanusi’s) letter is indeed most unfair, disrespectful and uncharitable to his person. Amaechi did what he did because he believed that the theft and corruption was just too much. He was propelled by his patriotic zeal to put Nigeria first, do what is in the best interest of the nation and Nigerians, and stop the bleeding and sucking of our collective resources by a tiny few. The mindboggling corruption revelations in the recent past that is still ongoing clearly justifies and vindicates Amaechi’sstance on the issue and the actions he took. Faced with the same situation, under similar circumstances, Amaechi will not act differently. The good of Nigeria, putting the nation and Nigerians first, will always be his guiding principle.

Amaechi brought out the Sanusi letter to the visiting American delegation

betraying your country leadership by revealing sensitive documents carelessly....worse than what Sanusi even said!

Fury007:


I am not sure of where to begin with you..

Your useless username, or your downright idioc.y.

In your lightless world, Ameachi is a traitor for trying to expose the mind boggling corruption of Nigerian leaders to foreigners..! And that is the crux of the matter to you??

What would ever give someone like you small sense??!

paschu:


If it were to be in the US, Amaechi would have been imprisoned for treason. And if that's too complex for you to understand, then you have a problem.

temitopeadeyemo:
I cannot understand all these comments. This is appalling and disgraceful. So we should ostracize the person who leaked letter and praise GEJ and his notorious gang of theives. Like someone said you all deserve the suffering you are going through right now.

Sweetguy25:
Idiot. A ragtag thief like Amaechi having the audacity and nerve to reveal confidential documents to foreigners tell a lot. Such acts would not have been tolerated under a more intolerant administration like OBJ's.
Amaechi is nothing but a pot-bellied hypocrite. Look at how he left Rivers State in a state of asphyxia. People could no longer breathe. Animal

Btruth:
I still don't get it. Is like majority comments wants Jonathan covered with that loots than been exposed. How come Ameeche is the criminal, what about the people that looted the $21b?

Nigerians sometimes ehn!

stinggy:
So after this long talk, who revealed the letter?
You shared it with governors, none of them exposed it. Shared it with Saraki, he didn't expose it. But just to buttress your point, you brought the papers out for a visiting team from USA.
That's a very dishonourable thing and a crime against your country.
These are the things that happen when you talk too much.
Fools!

I wonder for Naija people moni in billions of dollars missing,no body has boldness to say it.One man decided to spill d beans to bring to public knowledge. Yet he is d evil one not the one fat stole it.
