The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, said on Monday that the evidence of corruption against the immediate past governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, was overwhelming that he (Amaechi) admitted to them publicly.

Wike, who addressed the 106th Quarterly Meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers in Port Harcourt, added that Amaechi admitted paying $39m for a non-existent Justice Karibi Whyte Mega Specialist Hospital.

He added that the former governor confessed publicly that he sold the state’s gas turbines, adding that the immediate past administration diverted the funds.

“All the documents that proved Amaechi’s corrupt acts are authentic. We never forged documents. The former governor himself admitted that he paid out $39m to Clinotech, without a single block laid anywhere. Is that a document he claims was forged? Where is the hospital?

“He has agreed in different interviews that he sold the state gas turbines for $309m. Convert $309m to naira and you will understand the level of fraud. Amaechi left only $204,000 in the state account.

“The bank statements of the pattern of withdrawals from that account are there for all to see. Can that be forged? The dates and amounts withdrawn are clearly written,” he said.

On the use of hotels for electoral fraud, the governor warned that any hotel that opens its facility for electoral fraud and malpractice would lose its operational certificate of occupancy.

Reacting, the State Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Chris Finebone, said there was nothing wrong in selling state assets, adding that other states were doing it based on cogent economic consideration.

“Continuously talking about sale of power stations by the former governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi, suggests that Governor Wike does not know what to do with his time. We ask: is it that Governor Wike has not heard of governments selling off assets before now? Even a child knows that governments sell assets based on cogent economic considerations.”

Finebone added, “In the case of Rivers State, it didn’t make sense to build, operate, maintain power stations then upload electricity to the national grid at great cost to the Rivers taxpayers without refund from the FG at the time when legal issues prevented the taxpayers from enjoying same electricity hence the sale of the power stations and the funds paid into the treasury as all funds must be appropriated.

“Let Governor Wike provide evidence that due process was not adhered to as stated here. It is really disturbing to hear a governor speak as if governments sell assets and spend the money outside the appropriation. All monies realised from the sale of various assets by the Federal Government are paid into revenue fund, which is eventually appropriated by the parliament.

“Governor Wike should provide proof that monies realised from the sale of power plants were not paid into the coffers of Rivers State. There is no doubt that the decision by Amaechi to approve the sale of the power plants was in the best interest of Rivers people whose resources would have been further spent providing electricity for others.”

On the Karibi Whyte hospital, Finebone challenged the governor to also provide evidence of wrongdoing by Amaechi, describing the allegations against the former governor as mere fabrications and white lies.

Amaechi is a saint, Amaechi hates money, he can never be corrupt cuz he's an APC chieftains like Tinubu and co. Am already in my office, come fight me

Everyone keeps criticizing APC for still playing the blame game 2years into power.

Where are FFK, Reno Omokri and the other hypocrites?

Wike spends every minute of the day playing the blame game.
Attacking the Lion of Ubima, for no reason!
Amaechi this, Amaechi that...haba!!!!!!

His obsession with Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is propelled by envy and the sad realization that he will never accomplish what Amaechi accomplished as governor.

Anyone who is close to that mistake of a governor should tell him to step down from the post of governor, and concentrate on his propaganda war.

Rivers indigenes don't deserve this fuckery.
Nonsense
