PDP Rivers state chapter has petitioned EFCC over claims
that the immediate past governor of the state, Rotimi
Amechi engaged in corrupt practices while he served as
governor. The deputy chairman of the party who made this
known to newsmen in Port Harcourt yesterday August 11th,
called on President Buhari to be fair in his fight against
corruption and ensure that Amaechi is investigated by
EFCC.
He said the EFCC was petitioned over alleged corrupt
practices the former governor's administration was
involved in between December 1-8th 2014.
"Since the President of Nigeria, President Buhari,
has told the world that he is a man with zero
tolerance for corruption, we, the people of Rivers,
are asking that there should be no sacred cow. We
are saying that corruption in Rivers State should be
investigated and justice should be done. As we
speak to you, we cannot trace the proceeds that
emanated from all the government’s transactions
that that took place in Rivers State. Can you imagine
that between December 1 and 8, 2014, with one
address – 25 Trans-Amadi Road, Port Harcourt,
over N21bn of Rivers funds were transferred? We
are asking, where did these funds go?” he said
