The Government of Rives State under the leadership of
Governor Nyesom Wike has accused the Minister of Transport and former Governor
of the State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi of embezzling N3 trillion naira during
his tenure. The money which equivalent to a national budget was siphoned via
abandoned projects.
The Commissioner for Information, Hon Tam-George stressed
that Amaechi borrowed N4bn Agricultural loan from the CBN, but there is no
evidence to show that any farmer benefited from the loan.
While the N2bn borrowed by Governor Wike has benefited about
35,000.
Meanwhile, the APC publicity Secretary in the state has said
that the purported allegation was untrue and lack any merit.
“For once, you guys should ask the Commissioner what was
used for those uncompleted projects he claimed was abandoned. It is important
he cross-check his records so that he can overcome his little dream world of
make-belief,” Finebone said.
