The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers has urged Gov. Nyesom Wike to explain his role in the alleged N700 million poll bribery scam in which his name is mentioned.

This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Chris Finebone, APC Publicity Secretary in Port Harcourt on Saturday.

The APC alleged that operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) grilled, Mr Johnson Okpoko, the state PDP Secretary, for collecting N700 million from the controversial $115 million lodged with Fidelity Bank.

It alleged that the money was lodged by the immediate past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison-Madueke, and used to bribe Independent National Electoral Commission officials in Rivers.

The statement said the aim was to influence INEC officials to change results to favour the PDP during the 2015 general elections across Nigeria.

“It is almost a week since the news came out of the EFCC that the detained PDP Secretary told the anti-graft agency that he collected N700 million from Fidelity Bank on the instruction of Wike.

“However, Gov. Wike has kept sealed lips about the revelation by the PDP State Secretary who is about to be charged to court soon by the anti-graft agency.

“The APC notes that whereas the anti-graft agency might put the invitation of the governor on hold because of constitutional immunity, he is already being investigated,’’ the statement alleged.

The statement said this was because immunity did not prevent the EFCC from investigating the allegation against the governor and keeping vital information for his trial after his tenure.

“The APC wishes to call on Wike to clear the air about this obviously damaging revelation which has painted the image of his office and that of the state in opprobrious light.
“It is the conviction of the APC that the governor owes it as a duty to Rivers people to confirm or deny with facts and figures the accusation,’’ the statement said.

The APC alleged that it observed the sneaky happenings at the 2015 general elections in Rivers and the nation but would like to keep its conclusions about what happened to itself.

“But we urge Wike to tell Rivers people and Nigerians his role in the confessions made against him by the state secretary of his own party, the PDP,’’ the statement stated.

Wike is as corrupt as Amaechi, no doubt abt dat. The EFCC shld start there investigation from Amaechi's role in looting Rivers dry, sponsoring Buhari's campaign and abt 2bn he spent in the last rerun elections in Rivers State.

mrvitalis:

Ameachi legacy in Rivers State will speak for him, wike has borrowed 90bn and what has he got to show??
Come to Rivers State and see how dirty Port Harcourt is then u won't talk rubbish

princemillla:
Apc also need to call amaechi to clear his name from the allegations (Rumour or not) level against him.

Far before he became minister, he has been investigated by security forces and found not culpable. This exercise was done for all would be ministers of the Republic. Petitions written against him were found to be baseless lies not worthy of the paper it was written on.
Secondly wike almost a yr ago promised to prosecute Amaechi claiming he has all the documents implicating him in his disposal. The question u should ask is what is stopping wike from instructing his AG to commence prosecution against Amaechi? Does Amaechi has immunity? Could it be that the documents he claimed he has are are documents only seen in his imagination that won't be tenable in court? Ur guess is as good as mine.
Wike remains a bastard if he doesn't commence Amaechi's prosecution.
Lastly, amaechi was in the senate during his screening with a copy of omereji report wike claimed indicted Amaechi. He demanded to the entire world that anyone should pinpoint where he was indicted in the document. Till date, no one Has been able to take up this challenge. Not even wikes minions who were in the senate chamber that day took up that challenge.
The moral of my epistle to u is stop succking wikes cocck. He is nothing but a shameless murrafucker. That he said so doesn't mean it is so. Use ur brain and stop being gullible. [/b]

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

I am tired of reading this nonsense can't the Rivers state govt take this Amaechi to court? must it be through efcc? Every state has an arm of judiciary and if the one in Rivers doesn't know what to do it should seek for help from the one in Gombe state or you pple should go and sleep.

The former governor, Chibuike Ameachi was accused of using the River State money meant for agriculture to campaigned for president Muhamadu Buhari and the present governor Nyeson Wike bribed another with #700m all are Rivers State money. Please bring all these people to book for the right onwers of the money are the poor masses.
