Till today, no one can prove I stole Rivers State money – Chibuike Amaechi

The Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, said this today at a stakeholders’ forum on corruption, organised by the Federal Ministry of Justice. He revealed that Rivers State became the first to implement the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) act in Nigeria during his tenure.

While denying receiving over N3.1 trillion as alleged by his successor, Gov. Wike, he said: “The governor of Rivers State said I squandered N3 trillion. I did not receive up to N1.8 trillion as governor both from IGR and funds from federal allocation. .

So, how could I have squandered money I did not even receive in the first place? You can see the politics of lies and lies. We went to court against the Rivers State government on their allegation of corruption against me.
The Court of Appeal said, produce that document that found this man (Amaechi) guilty of those crimes and up till today he (Wike) has not produced it.”
