The People's Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed dismay at claims President Muhammadu Buhari was begging former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, to accept an appointment into the Federal Government cabinet.

Amaechi reportedly claimed this past weekend Buhari had implored him to accept the position of Minister of Federal Republic of Nigeria or Secretary to the Government of the Federation.



Rivers State's PDP chapter said if the claims were true, this would be tantamount to glorifying corruption, and which also exposes the President's fight against corruption as anti-people and targeted at only members of the PDP.

The PDP, insisting that the former Governor of Rivers State, Mr Amaechi, is corrupt and has raped the State in an extreme manner, expresses reservations over the President's stance, and his tolerance of the APC chieftain," Jerry Needam, Spokesperson to Rivers State PDP Chairman, Felix Obuah, said.

He alleged Amaechi had at several fora boosted that he was a dependable ally of the President and also a prospective ministerial appointee for either the Defence Ministry or Ministry of Petroleum.

Similarly, the party said it was also amazed at the manner Amaechi's alleged corrupt and fraudulent actions were continually being celebrated by his lieutenants, the APC folks in Rivers State and Abuja. Needam said PDP made bold to say that under Amaechi as Governor, corruption was legalized and institutionalized.

He claimed there were obvious evidence attesting to the validity of this position and the PDP is fully ready to provide prove of its claims.

Comment could not be obtained from the APC and The Presidency.

It is not the place of the PDP to ascertain who has been tipped for executive positions in the government they are opposed to. This is left to the media aides of the government

I won't be surprised, after all we are in d season of 'change'

Rivers State PDP must really be jealous of Amaechi's rising profile.

Oshe ojare! What is their business with if amaechi is considered or notThis pdp guys are obviously not yet used to being in the opposition. They are just mindlessly all over the place

saTanoids again Ameachi must be rewarded by PMB and there is nothing they(wailing wailers) can do about it!

I can categorically say after reading all d comments above dat we aren't concern about d fight against corruption...... all we want is for buhari to jail all PDP members but no APC members should be jailed cuz dey re all saints

the time Amaechi will appear before the senate for confirmation, the 3 PDP from rivers state may try to stop him in line with senate rules that if 2 senators from your state reject you, you will be dropped.
however the case of obanikoro is still fresh in our minds where the 3 apc senators rejected him and he was still cleared because he was a former senator. Amaechi has been a fmr speaker of Rivers house of Assembly and a fmr gov, i hope the APC senators who i believe admires amaechi will stand their ground when the time comes.

Omotolu:
Rivers State PDP must really be jealous of Amaechi's rising profile.

I rather jealous the amount of money he stole from rivers wishing I was him, than kobo less rising profile

gabbytabby:
Them no know where EFCC office dey?

gabbytabby:
Them no know where EFCC office dey?

I wonder ooo! A man they could not even report to the police for stealing govt house spoons and forks. PDP should turn whatever they have against Amaechi to EFCC or forever shut the f..ck up.
