| Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike addressing journalists on
Friday night at the Government House; Port Harcourt on funds discovered
at an Ikoyi apartment |
Governor Wike said that investigations by the Rivers State Government revealed that the money was proceed from the sale of gas turbines by the immediate past Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.
Addressing journalists at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Friday night, Governor Wike said:
"The money in question belongs to the former Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. We want to confirm that the houses in Ikoyi also belong to Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
"If you recollect in 2015, we said that gas turbines built by Former Governor Peter Odili were sold to Sahara Energy, business partners of Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi at $319million.
"That money was used to sponsor the All Progressives Congress for the 2015 general elections. From the date of sale of the gas turbines to May 29, 2015, the money depleted from $319million to $204,000 . What was stashed at the Ikoyi residence was part of that fund".
He said : "We have facts to prove that the said money belongs to the Rivers State Government. The Federal Government must return our money".
Governor Wike said all the stories being peddled about the money belonging to the National Intelligence Agency are false and mere face saving measures by the embattled APC Federal Government.
He said: "As I speak to you, the Federal Government is so embarrassed that this has happened. All the stories that the money belongs to the NIA are fake".
Governor Wike challenged the Federal Government to set up a panel of Inquiry, which will sit publicly to investigate the money, if it doubted the claim of the Rivers State Government.
He stated that the Rivers State Government needs the money to complete an array of projects, insisting that on no account would this criminal activity be swept under the carpet.
The governor said as long as the Federal Government continues to disturb the progress of Rivers State, so long will God throw the Federal Government into confusion.
"We are giving them seven days to return our money. Otherwise, we would take legal action to recover our money. $43million will help us complete several projects. We need that money for projects", he said.

Na wa for naija and their politicians....how long are we going to continue all this loots and recovery palava..its really sad to hear this kind of thing still happening in a country that is already in turmoil and at the mercy of God for its citizens..and at the detriment of these so called thiefy thiefy jankolikos...calling themselves politicians.
That Stephanie Coker that rushed to make comments. That was very stupid of her to accuse an innocent woman just to seek relevance. She should hide her face in shame.
Somebody went there to collect some cash to travel, unfortunately for them whitsleblowers dey everywhere. Na so she carry Ghana must go come out for night she no talk to anybody. She just drive comot with taxi. Ah, security man say no no, unless this house na secret cult or money hide there. Na so whistleblower say make im just call person wey know person, na so show spoil for Ameachi. Money wey dey dia plenty pass this one.dem dey remove am small small. The lady wey enter dia last no too sharp. Na so!
My govenor my govenor.tell them o! No wonder they were so quick to die d matter bcos na there head e burst.buhari and apc r thieves
Please Governor Wike, what have you done so far with the money you've collected so far?
They must tell us where the money came from and who put it there. Our mumu Don do.
since there is proof don't just talk show concrete proof please..also show C of O of the house thanks
Who 2019 help, wike is ur righteous man be filling your self. Who is wine, who is government, who's coming in by2019? Same set of politicians that won't stop shooting on them self why they eat or money. Politicians are the same, wake up, wike and amechi are both destroyers of Nigeria.
Stephanie Coker's hubby that did fraud in the U.K. How is he different? He stole from a government and she has the nerve to talk? Hypocrites.
Mr Governor please pay your students. The UK government is compiling and will soon publish the names of organisations and governments that have abandoned their students. That is going to dent the image of those in charge internationally.
Hmm
Dis money matter just dey make my head spin😏
Who come get this money???
But if the money actually belonged to NIA why is it not in their bank account? Why is it in a flat and locked away? Why hasnt it be declared missing from the Federal government account? So many whys I don't know again o.
What rubbish! So wike is ready to paint ameachi black as long as that will get the money diverted to rivers, oh please. This case should be investigated and due process followed. However, if it is proven that the sum in question is not linked to amaechi, wike must pay for slander or attempted larceny. When will our leaders become sane for crying out loud. How can we grow and develope as a nation when you all have unnecessary and uncontrolled want for money. Unquenchable greed!...be human and stop hiding under false potentials. Stop bullying and cheating your subjects only to disgracefully satisfy your needs. We have seen the deceit, where is the honesty and goodwill. It is a shame that I can but count our leaders of virtue, a number so insignificant that one will but wonder, why and how are they still leaders.
No be lie bro. Show really spoiled. APC is a mirage
RSG needs to be quiet. they're all the same.
Sharap, your fellow mallam na Amechi.
Hmm,Nice write-up I must say but Nigerian government no make sense at all.
I swear.they are all mad.as in werey Gidi ni won..what kind of nonsense is all these ??chai this country
if the money is really legit from selling of whatever, are there not banks to keep the money? Only God can help our country.
How on earth did this kind of dull man become governor of Rivers state? Chai!
Are you sure u went to school? Or can't u read and understand? Didn't u hear Wat d govt is saying dat if dey want prove, he will give den prove. ...
BASTARD PEOPLE.....RIVERS STATE GOV NO GET BANK ??? ABI RIVERS STATE GOV NO GET SAFE FOR RIVERS STATE..
Wike the hemp man.
PDP trying to divert the attention from themselves, senseless Nigerians failing for it. Keep supporting those thieves. It won't be long before they fund their bargaining tool- Niger Delta avenger to begin their vandalisation. They should keep destroying their land n poisoning their foolish followers. Evidence as to the ownership of the money has been colluded n n it all soon be released to the public. FFK n co n keep ranting, I believe God has decided to remember Nigeria, our future is gradually been liberated.D devil is fighting its last fight n a lot of gullible Nigerians can't see d bigger picture.
Carry on Wike with your uncommon thuggish stupid kind of reasoning. Oh what a nation with a dumb head governor
FOOL
Lol the illiterate is a lawyer, a member of body of benchers, former lg chairman, this illiterate was minister for education and now governor. Biko I want to be an illiterate too
What is this country turning into
FG Return back their Money please
Wike is already making judicious use of the available Funds and will us it to do more
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee release the Money to Wike
Wike should stop the noise. The Federal High Court has given an order for any claimant to appear before it within 14 days to properly lay claim to the monies or it will be forfeited to the Federal Government. Rivers State should simply file the necessary papers through their AG instead of engaging in attention-seeking press conferences. The court has adjourned to May 5. We go see who go claim the money.
Now that the money has been traced to Ameachi, NIA is coming forward for ownership. Dis matter don finish . some people are untouchable in ApC.imagine if it was GEJ's name that was mentioned, hell go don loose himself,even when dey had already started insulting the man already.
J
The sack of money that was found in Kaduna no get owner till date. Se na ghost put am dia? What happened to the CCTV? Make dem dey deceive themselves. God is still God.
Am afraid you are not only mistaken, you are also misinformed, just to put it very mildly.
Amen
It's not by verbal abuse.. Chief! You don't have to insult to make your point.
Why will NIA a government agency keep money in an apartment? Yet the cbn is telling every Nigeria to go cashless and keep money in the bank....stupid cover up story
Ameachi is just a thief. He is a Viking and Vikings r thiefs
Do u think u people can fool us? Shame on u wike d mad dog
Someone laid a claim, u dint say any reasonable than calling him a mad dog, look very well between you and him who is likely the mad dog? Definately its you.
Those of us that advocated change and voted APC into power are becoming the more disappointed and embarrassed. APC got power and didn't know what to do with it. Its quite unfortunate and disheartening. To think of it that this kind of messed up government is what PMB to more than six whooping months to put together is a putrifying shame. So this same indicted Rotimi Amaechi was one of the technocrats that Buhari discovered to constitute his government! This is such a woe.
APC is so confused, they don't know what else to do.... By the way, is Buhari still in Aso Rock, or where is he right now? May be he should have just passed on in London for someone who knows what to do to take over.
hmmmm... order for your dinner and party gowns , shoes and bags.. call 07068337191
wike....go collect d money from EFFC...u r such a stupid individual....where were u when ur hopeless PDP controlled central govt stole d country blind

We don't have jobs and u are holding super a huge amount of money instead of using it for development... OMG... God will surely punish u all...i don't care who owns the money, u all will die untimely
Nawa o.
Where is that attention seeker Stephanie Coker? Shame on her.
MONEY BELONGS TO RIVERS STATE. PMB PLEASE RELEASE THE MONEY TO RIVERS STATE, IT WILL COVER THE COST OF REPAIR OF SEVERAL ROAD PROJECTS AND PROVISION OF MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL FACILITIES.
I have always known dat amechi or whatever he calls himself is a thief. With the way he looks! And why would dat amount of money be kept in a HOUSE?! corruption everywhere.
Wike and his failed party had been looking for what to do Amechi since the Supreme Court Judges Saga. Wike Leave Amechi alone
Imagine the wife of a known UK fraudster judging people? Wonders shall never end!

All these politicians are a bunch of criminals
return our money, return our money, wike if this money is to b returned to ur government wil u settle ur unpaid salary? u entered into power n stoped many pple's job witout compassion, cal them back no way,all d money dat had bin in ur possession for works salary were r they?.

This is another criminal claiming ownership of the stolen money. The money of RS should be in RS account, Not in a luxury building at ikoyi. So what if EFCC didn't recover the money? so your government won't know/investigate where they've been hiding the money. And that idiot typing "return our money",did FG come to your state and steal the money? NO. So please shut your damn mouth and reason for once in your life. Even if FG release the money to your govnr,you won't still benefit anything from it. It's gonna be in the hands of another criminal. Nigerians OPEN YOUR EYES. God has forsaken this country long time ago, And no amount of religions can change that. Even your our so called pastors and alfas can't change that coz they are only fighting to enrich their own pocket and private jets "all in the name of GOD SERVICE(s)".
Everything is wrong with nigeria,and nothing will ever change unless we implement a strict law concerning corruption.
CORRUPTION should be an offence punishable be DEATH. BUT NIGERIANS DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEM.
Call it sharia law or call us uncivilized citizens,that's your problem,all i know is that the solution for corruption is very clear for us to see. But most of us are too blind to see it.
FROM: THE TRUTH HURTS
