The corruption case instituted by the Rivers State Government against its former governor and Nigeria’s minister of Transport, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi doesn’t look it is going away anytime soon.

The Trent has exclusively obtained the White Paper indicating Mr. Amaechi in a corruption investigation. The report places the value of fraudulent dealings by Amaechi as governor at $400 million (N96 billion). The paper also indicts Mr. Tonye Cole, managing director of Sahara Energy Plc, for questionably dealings with the Rivers government during Amaechi’s tenure.


Mr. Cole is named in the questionable sale of four gas turbines belonging to the Rivers State government and the 40-year concessioning deal of Olympia Hotel for the sum of $86,250 per year. In the document, Mr. Cole’s company, NG-Power HPS Limited is indicted for receiving a payment of $53 million as repayment for a non-existent loan from the Rivers State Government.

Amaechi is also indicted in the corrupt disbursement of N2 billion designated for Agric Credit loans. Amaechi has been in the news for the past seven months, ever since he left office, for alleged mismanagement of funds, abuse of executive powers, cronyism, and outright fraud during his tenure as Rivers State Governor from 2007 to 2015.

His nomination as a minister under President Muhammadu Buhari’s government was almost scuttled by these allegations of abuse of office and public trust. Amaechi, who is one of Buhari’s two ‘Super Ministers’ has been identified by stalwarts of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the chief financier of Muhammadu Buhari’s presidential campaign. In a televised event mid-2015, it was announced that Amaechi contributed 80% of the funds used to bring Buhari to office as President.

In addition, Amaechi is praised by APC leaders for single-handedly funding the governorship campaigns of at least 5 APC governors including that of former Speaker, Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State. The Rivers State Government set up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate Amaechi’s tenure as governor. The Judicial Commission was chaired by Honourable Justice George Omereji and it submitted its report in October 2015.


In order to stall his persecution as recommended by the Judicial Commission, Amaechi swiftly filed a case against the government. The particulars of the case are as follow: CA/PH/342/2015: ROTIMI AMAECHI V GOV. OF RIVERS STATE. Riki Tarfa, SAN, is Mr. Amaechi’s lawyer.

He's now a saint since he is in APC. His sins will not be remembered.

I told you! The man is a theif and Soyinka is his partner in crime. His sins bubu said they're no more.God is watching.

Watch APC claim ds to b trivial.. hehehe...

Yea, you don't expect Buhari to dig his own grave.

U mean the same report that one of the committee member said they were forced to write
Bro please go to that primary school close to ur house tomorrow. .. . Go to primary 1 D buy them sweet and gum then u can then sit down and tell them this ur story
... Lack of common sense

Amaechi looted more money than most people that Buhari is harassing but unlike the others, Buhari benefitted immensely from the loot so he cannot bite the finger that fed him. That is the level of insincerity in this his fight against corruption.

ameachi planned to loot $1billion, if not for funds he used to support buhari, he would have achieved it.

he ended up with $775Million

see as your blood dey hot now, if to sey na GEJ or Wike now. You would have call on EFCC, ICPC, WAEC,NECO,POLIC, NAFDAC, ARMY and other relevant egencies to swing into action and arrest them, including their family and friends. Put them in an uderground and serve them that watery beans then shout sai buhari. But since saint Amaechi is an APC man. Any coruption case against him is nonsense. You guys can be funny atimes.

I think amaechi is corrupt

Purely sarcasting

amaechi is a thief.

Why have Wike not charged him to court even with the so called evidence? Abi Buhari and APC hold him commissioner for justice for leg?

Looking forward to Amaechigate

This man is a thieving son of a beech


Amaechi stole so much but Buhari has to turn a blind eye


Fashola and Amaechi stole like their lives depended on it

This is heavy. If your source is authentic, then efcc needs to check up on it. That's if buhari will approve.

That doctored white paper is trash crafted by Wike.

Why? Because the original committee report ABSOLVED Ameachi of all allegations of corruption against him.

Proof? On live national TV during the ministerial screening and the issue was brought up, Ameachi, in the presence of all PDP senators including Akpabio, wielded the original report which vindicated him, and offered to submit it for examination by the Senate, which was turned down by Saraki the Senate President.

Again, this is all on tape and Wike's committee dismissed all allegations against Ameachi, the Lion of Ubima. This was viewed live by millions of Nigerians including my humble self. Seek the 3:40 mark.

Children of hate and anger are deaf, dumb and blind to the truth always.

Somebody is calling for an invitation from EFCC..

Useless story.
WikeD go to court if u have any evidence...

EFCC over to you.

No be only white paper. Na black paper. Amaechi took the white paper abi na black paper to d senate to read during his ministerial screening. My former governor is very clean. PDP is just angry with Amaechi because of d role he played to boot them out of power.

Lol... some people will never comprehend the modus operandi of modern politics.

Firstly, Ministerial appointments was delayed to enable presidency study the activities of every ministry therefore giving no room for incoming ministers to unscrupulously loot iif sworn iin.

Secondly, corrupt ministers were purposely selected hoping that PDP n it's senators will screen them out or with all sort of currupt cases against em. The division iin APC will kick start wen the party's veil of immunity for the corrupt ones iis tampered with.

#MyCandidOpinion

When EFCC enter state and Local government level, am sure this guy cannot go scot free, come to think of it, which Nigeria Governor was not corrupt?

bunch of hypocrite

nnachukz:

so because of 96 billion he should leave 3 trillion

When will EFCC do the needful?
