POLITICS: Amaechi Witch-Hunted as Court Indicts Him of Stealing

The Rivers State Government has presented a white paper demanding the immediate prosecution of the former Governor Rotimi Amaechi and all persons involved in what the government called fraudulent transactions. This is following the report of the 30-day sitting of the Justice George Omeregi led Rivers State Judicial Commission of Inquiry, set up to investigate the sale of state assets.Members of the State Executive Council presented the white paper to journalists in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital. The Commissioner of Housing in Rivers State, Emma Okah, who spoke on behalf of the State Government, told journalists
in Port Harcourt that the state’s Attorney-General has been mandated to start all legal processes against former governor, Mr Rotimi Amaechi; a former military administrator of Rivers State, Brigadier Anthony Ukpo (Rtd) and some other former political office holders to refund over 97 billion naira allegedly misappropriated in the sale of the state valued assets.

The Commissioner of Housing stated that the issues of illegality cannot be swept under the carpet.

They should go to court, that commission lacks merit.

@OKORITE: i think Rivers leaders should stop all the attacks and concentrate on vital issues. i don't see any sense in all these court cases

Okorite Cotterell

Dnt mind them, they should copy from Ekiti governor who is not going against his state nominitee. Why is Rivers State different?

Endy Edeson

@okorotie: you are right brother. one of the most applaudable gestures by a Nigerian politician this year is the SUPPORT FAYOSE IS GIVING FAYEMI IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AS REGARDS MINISTERIAL LIST. it's commendadle. Rivers people should learn to love themselves.

Okorite Cotterell

Lol, and you call it witch hunt?
I thought the ministers were coming from Mars, never knew it's the same old corrupt faces.
No cow is sacred my brother, all corrupt people must be probed and prosecuted if found guilty, even if it's Jonathan.
Killing corruption requires holistic approach, failure to do that will make the whole issue a political witch hunt. Then I ask where is the CHANGE?

Wike is just wasting his time. Amaechi is already a minister.

Asom Ru-ching James

Not court, check your source of information

What do you expect from a tribalist? Now you're talking about Igbos? I thought Buhari is deceiving you that he's fighting corruption, why is it that any corrupt person that is close to Buhari automatically becomes a saint? Nigerians like you are the biggest problem of Nigeria.

Endy. Okorite. I am not sure u have been following d events. Amaechi did not write handover note. Amaechi approached 4 States courts and justices to stop to swear in Wike. Fatemi lost and gladly conceded. Amaechi is still in tribunal proving his party won or there was no election in d state. Amaechi believes that with Buhari at d centre, he is free.
