Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr. Austin- Tam George, has expressed shock that former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi expended N82million to host Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka to a 3 hour dinner at a period he refused to pay salaries.
Addressing Government House, Port Harcourt correspondents on Tuesday, Dr Tam George said that the figures were contained in the hand over note prepared by the former Permanent Secretary of the State Ministry of Information and Communication under the Amaechi administration. He said:
"A government that did not pay salaries, closed the courts , but the administration had the courage to expend N82million to fund a dinner for Prof Wole Soyinka. "These are facts on ground. The Amaechi administration expended the money under the heading of borrowed funds." The Information Commissioner : “ There is a massive propaganda machine out there misinforming the people about the policy direction of Governor Wike’s administration. They have to respect the will of the people. Instead, they go about spreading falsehood against the people of the state ".
He charged the news men to emphasize the developmental achievements of Governor Wike with facts because Rivers State is currently dealing with a “ disastrous legacy of abandoned projects” by the Rotimi Amaechi’s administration.
Dr. George who noted that the Wike administration is currently facing a combination of “ 85% information war” and “ political fundamentalism” also said the APC seeking to establish a “ political caliphate” in Rivers State, by installing Dr. Dakuku whose is a fake political candidate of the APC.
The Commissioner also described those who said Wike’ s government is serving only Ikwerre interests as talking “ anthropological nonsense” because he is running an all- inclusive of government of indigenes from the 23 LGAs of Rivers State.

Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
Hahahaha all his flamboyant lifestyle and huge financial support in the last election doesn't fall from sky,he dwindled his state and nation. APC and PDP are like the different b/w a fraudster and arm robber.
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy truth is now coming out.were is those bahari thug the call efcc am sure the clowns are seeing it minister of work indeed.
Judas amechi is a criminal that hide under a higher criminals..spending all this public for noting just to host a mere yoruba man shame.
Were are those brain wash a..p..c animals here shame to una.
#sad indeed
Abi o
Highly outrageous and disheartening! Seriously ehn, the so-called politicians expend millions on things not worthy nor benefitting. These ppl do not have good track record of their impact on the society yet are made ministers. Ridiculous!
Why are they just saying it now. Is it a recent discovery. And why are they telling the press? Are they suppose to report to the press or the organisation in charge of fraud?
Wild flowers!
Apparently Amechi thinks we re brainless. BTW when last did PMB visit Nigeria? Abi he's around reading all these rubbish and keeping mute?
-LIB PIKIN-
Did prof Soyinka ask him for #82million dinner?
Na wa oooooooo
i am highly disappoint in nigeria politics. one think i know is that amaechi will suffer. he thinks APC is in power he is misbehaving abi. time will tell.
And Buhari said that none of his Ministers is Corrupt. If corruption must be fought, it must be fought holistically, no exceptions. APC Bani Chanji.

Have this same government commented on dasuki's arms sharing, if "No" they should shove it
Abeg which kin food dem eat??
My view not urs!!!!
Immunity covers him afterall
But Jona couldn't do it for obvious reasons. Stealing is not corruption........ Hehehehe I dey laugh
Let the war begin.
Why this current govt is not seen as been fair and just
Is because most acclaimed APC saints that were in power in d former administration have so many fraud charges against them
But not one of them have been invited for even questioning
Rotimi Amaechi is d worst of them
He owed salaries in all parastatals and NO ONE is probing him....
#CHANGE all d way#
Good question davido's driver!!! Lol
Abeg wetin they chop weh reach 82M biko unu ke ham eka
Jesus all these money just to host a dinner
While am here suffering on how to get 30k to complete my school fee.
God please have mercy.
Enter your comment... Na-akpa ha. Its guinness malt all d way

Nawa ooooooo,this wike naa conform mumu.
Biko wet in dem serve for d dinner??or was d dinner for a whole country??politics in naija na wa #vikkiloveslinda
@chygurl pls go and check properly ameachi did not do anything in rivers state except loot, how will you owe civil servants, nysc corps even the policemen salaries for close to a year. If your parents fell under this category how do you expect your family to survive
Tax payers money. There is God o. #linda whatever.
dinner wht? wht ws d purpose of d dinner? did d xpenses followed due process? dos are d questions we need 2 ask.so make una provide 4da.we are waitin...4 amaechi's response
Amaechi is a member of Wole Soyinka's cult. He did it for his godfather.
Really? Dat is a huge sum of money
Amaechi beware....Let's go Linda
How many pple??? Maybe you nd your family who got directly from him. I leave in ph and what u are saying is not true biko.
@Chukwuka, EFCC don't go about questioning people based on blog posts. If the Rivers state government petition EFCC with substantial evidence, then i believe EFCC will swing into action.
This my country sef. That's the height of corruption,pls mr president investigate
Pervert corruption of Amaechi dat blind eyes r turned against by PMB.
Forgiv my choice of words, buh i tink all our politicians wil go to 'HELL'.So dey shd beta enjoy all d fortune dey can lay deir hands on whil on earth. Nonsense!
