The Rivers state commissioner for housing, Emma Okah , has dismissed the insinuation by former governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that Governor Nyesom Wike’s probe into his administration is as an attempt to witch hunt and ridicule his person.

Amaechi had few days ago reacted to the a judicial commission of inquiry set up by Wike to probe his tenure as governor. He described the move as a fraudulent witch hunt of his administration.

The commissioner said that there is nothing fraudulent or wrong to ask an administration that received and managed N3trillion on behalf of the Rivers state people to explain some of its actions that are suspected to be fraudulent.

“The people have the right to know. 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,” he queried.

Okah maintained that Amaechi should not be afraid of anything if he knows that his hands are clean saying that all he has to do is to come when invited by the commission of inquiry to explain his side of the story and present documents to backup his claims.He stated Wike’s government would not turn blind eyes to grave allegations of misappropriation of fund against Amaechi’s government.

“Is it proper for Amaechi to sell off 70 per cent of the Rivers State Government’s 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power stations (Eleme, Omoku, Afam and Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt) at the cost of $302,400m and the entire money was withdrawn between December 2014 and April 2015 without any document of transaction or payment into any government account.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 authorised the receipt and where is the money?

“Is it a 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?” he asked.

It will be recalled that Governor Wike had vowed to carry out a forensic audit of all government accounts once he was sworn-in as governor.

Wike, face your work and leave Amaechi alone *tiring*

There's no time

wike again? this is what he will do for four years. i pity rivers people

Wike go spend im hundred days probing person wey don finish im job...he no go do him own work.

Amaechi should open up to probe if he feels he has nothing to hide...Wike should probe this thief and make him eat the same food of betrayal that he served his benefactor....lets see how the Baba that he sacrificed his integrity for, would save him

What are the people above posting? $302 million spent within four months without documentation? Haba even fashola and Tinubu are not this reckless. Noo, Amaechi, go and explain. Even Buhari will deny you if this is true.

Criminal Judas . . . Amechi must be caught now and locked up underground in solitary confinement. So he can spend the rest of his days looking at a wall and talking to himself

.

.Wike continue with your probe of amaechi's govt and stop disturbing the public.

Did any of you 3 read the post as to know the gravity of the crimes committed? I know you're Yorubas though, brainless!

Wasting nigerian money since 1960

In a civilized society this is a no brainer but in Nigeria its witch hunting, is it not the same Ameachi that said politicians steal because people don't throw stones at them, so its only logical for him to be the first test case subsequently all Governors will be probed.

Wike and his group no reach at all. Its not all about shouting on the pages of newspaper everyday. Animals wan give me human rights according to late Fela Kute. Imagine Wike that wants to probe Amaechi's govt. Wike that has never worked all this life b4 joining politics in 1999 to become my local govt chairman. His wealth amounting to billions are littered all over port Harcourt. Even as a lawyer which he claimed, has he defended any case in the court b4? Has he for one day written any law report as a lawyer? Wike only get to know how the court room look like if either he is taken to court or somebody took him to court. In the words of Nnamdi Kanu of Radio Biafra, "Wike wu onye Ara. Ndi ara" We are all waiting for the day Wike constituted panel will turn in their report after that, Wike will then jail Amaechi. Even Wike himself knows he cannot do that because he Wike, has no power outside GEJ and his wife PEJ. That would been possible if only GEJ won the last election. Maybe he Wike would have jailed Amaechi without any panel report. Ndi ara.

Wicked wike at it again... He should deliver his services for the good of the state which is the reason he was voted in, but this is not to say that Amaechi should not account for all his frivolities in office... We must learn to fight corruption from within, starting with the man in the mirror...
