I'll Probe Amaechi, Says Wike by lolaxavier(m): 4:09am On May 26, 2015 |
THE Rivers State Governor-elect, Chief Nyesom Wike, has indicated his readiness to probe the Rotimi Amaechi administration after being sworn in as the chief executive of the state. Wike, who gave this hint while receiving the interim report of the Transition Committee in Port Harcourt on Monday, declared that his administration would carry out a forensic audit of all government accounts. He explained that the measure would enable him to recover funds that might have allegedly been stolen by top officials of the outgoing administration in the state. Wike specifically said that those who participated in the use of N4.5bn to conduct a local government election by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, even when the court had stopped the exercise, would be made to account for their actions. The governor-elect maintained that RSIEC embarked on an illegal local government election despite the court’s position on the matter. Explaining that the days of impunity and corruption were over, Wike noted that Rivers would be a test case in the fight against corruption. He added that his administration would adopt a comprehensive approach in fighting corrupt elements in the outgoing administration in order to entrench fiscal discipline in the state. “I am not going to be intimidated. The only way we can work together is to check the ills of the past. The right thing must be done. Those who have stolen the resources of the state must be made to account for them. “I have the political will to drive the process to its logical conclusion. The massive stealing of government resources was a deliberate attempt to create problems for the incoming administration,” Wike said. The governor-elect declared that all backdated appointments and certificates of occupancy being hurriedly issued by outgoing governor would be set aside. “All the top officials of Amaechi administration who have refused to cooperate in the interest of Rivers State during the transition period will soon cooperate whether they like it or not. “Those who have closed the courts will be the same persons rushing to the courts when we open the courts,” Wike further declared. Earlier, the Chairman of the Transition Committee and state Deputy Governor, Mr. Tele Ikuru, had recommended that the new administration should carry out forensic audit of all accounts in view of an alleged looting by officials of the outgoing administration. Ikuru pointed out that Amaechi and top officials of his (Amaechi) administration refused to cooperate with the committee for a smooth transition. The deputy governor urged the governor-elect to work towards restoring basic services in the state. Reacting, the Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Chief Tony Okocha, told our correspondent that Amaechi was not afraid of probe and added that the governor had been transparent and sincere in governing the state. Okocha argued that there was nothing wrong in probing any administration, but stated that the exercise would only becoming a vice should it (probe) be done with mischief in mind. “No government that is transparent and sincere like that of Amaechi will be afraid of probe. It (probe) is good to do except if it is originally intended to be a witch-hunt,” Amaechi aide said. On Wike’s claim that N4.5bn was used to conduct the council election, Okocha disagreed with the governor-elect, saying, “He (Wike) should also understand that he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.” http://www.punchng.com/news/ill-probe-amaechi-says-wike/ 8 Likes 2 Shares

This is a great news!! Let the probing begin!! Let's see how much Saint Amaechi the noisemaker looted. I hope Ambode does the same to Fashola. Oh i forgot, he's Tinubu's stooge. He won't do it. Amaechi is a thief, he gets the second biggest money from FG after Akwa Ibom yet he couldn't do quarter of what Akpabio did!! He's a hardened looter!! If only we have Wike in Abia to probe that demon called Thief. A. Orji!! 16 Likes 3 Shares |
