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.

ReplyDeleteEFCC won't question him, but if it were somebody affiliated with PDP,they will come running like mad dogs.
ReplyDelete@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.

#sad indeed
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!
ReplyDeleteWhy 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?
ReplyDeleteWild 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?

ReplyDeleteNa wa oooooooo
ReplyDeletei 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd Buhari said that none of his Ministers is Corrupt. If corruption must be fought, it must be fought holistically, no exceptions. APC Bani Chanji.

ReplyDeleteWhy this current govt is not seen as been fair and just
ReplyDeleteIs 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....
