APC in Rivers state says that if there is any former Governor in Nigeria
who is clean and spotless, it will be the former governor of the state,
Rtimi Ameachi, In a statement signed by the state party chairman Dr.
Davies Ibiamu Ikanya today September 14th, the party advised President
Buhari not to give ears and attention to all the false reports that are
being said against the former governor in some quarters.
“We make bold to say that if there is any clean and spotless former
governor in Nigeria, that person is Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi,
CON. Anybody, who knows Amaechi well enough, will readily testify that
he is an honest, sincere, but courageous gentleman, a first-class
patriot, who is ever ready to go the extra mile to see that Nigeria
becomes a better place for the present and future generations"the
statement read
The party accused the current governor of the state, Nyeson Wike of
sponsoring defamatory documentaries and other materials geared towards
tarnishing the image of Amaechi.
"This insidious plot by Wike include commissioning a team made up of
persons within and outside the state to ‘initiate, formulate and
contrive false damaging reports bordering on alleged corrupt practices
of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and circulate same to individuals
and institutions within Nigeria and abroad with a view to damaging the
incorruptible character and rising profile of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi in order to blackmail and put pressure on President Buhari not
to appoint the former governor into his government. These cooked reports
will be sent to the US Embassy, UK High Commission, EU Commission, and
several international organisations such as Transparency International,
amongst others. The forged reports will also be sent to local and
foreign media houses such as the BBC [Hausa Service], Dutch Radio, VOA
[Hausa Service], amongst others’ for repeated publication and airing. It
is not surprising that the medium for airing the documentary is the
same AIT that angered decent Nigerians with documentaries that
disparaged the present President of Nigeria and his family members in a
failed bid to make Nigerians not to vote for him. The anti-Amaechi
documentary is simply aimed at driving a wedge between the President and
the former governor in the hope that President Buhari would be
blackmailed into leaving Amaechi out of his government.”the party stated
