The Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers state has said that
recent reports by two Justices of the Supreme Court is an indictment on the former Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi.
Justice Okoro Inyang and Justice Sylvester Ngwuta both of
the Supreme Court had fingered Amaechi in an alleged bribery
and corruption scandal.
Speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt, the State Publicity
Secretary of the PDP, Samuel Wanosike said the party in the
state has been justified about its argument that the former
governor allegedly misappropriated state funds.
Wanosike further said there is a moral burden on President
Mohammadu Buhari to prosecute all those mentioned in the
statement of the two Supreme Court Justices.
He, however, called for the resignation of Amaechi as the
Minister of Transportation, adding that his resignation will
give room for proper investigation of the allegations.
“We of the PDP in Rivers state have been
vindicated. We are not surprised because we
knew Amaechi was stingingly corrupt. Under
his watch over three points, something close
to trillion was misused.
“President Mohammadu Buhari now the
moral burden to let Nigerians know if he is
truly fighting corruption.
“If the President knows he’s not shielding
corrupt officials especially those who have
embezzled fund meant for Rivers state.
“We as a party are asking Amaechi to resign
so that he can be properly investigated. We
are asking President Mohammadu Buhari to
please do the needful for Nigerians,”
Wanosike said.
