Read the press statement below...
Also, Dr Tam-George
declared that the point of departure between Former Governor Amaechi
and Governor Nyesom Wike was the insistence of Governor Wike that
Amaechi observed probity and accountability in all governmental
actions, an advice that was thrown overboard by the former governor .
Addressing Rivers people via a radio programme on Wednesday
in Port Harcourt, Dr Tam-George regretted that the Amaechi
administration using the Ministry of Information and Communications
headed by Ibim Semenitari amassed N1.1billion debt on frivolous
expenditure.
According to Dr Tam-George : "I
will seek the permission of the Governor to formally write
Professor Wole Soyinka, a known supporter of Amaechi if he received
part of the N82million spent on a 3-hour Dinner hosted for him by the
Amaechi administration.
"If he agrees that he
received such funds, then he will be compelled to refund same to the
coffers of Rivers State. At present, we have presented these details
to the Police for investigation and prosecution. We shall also take up
this matter as a financial crime against the people of Rivers
State. "
He said that all the
fraudulent actions of the Amaechi administration are being addressed
by the Wike administration, pointing out that it will take time for
the legal process to be completed because they are financial
crimes.
The Information Commissioner said that
Former Governor Amaechi betrayed the trust of Rivers people by
embarking on irresponsible expenses, which led to the mismanagement
and fraudulent misuse of N3trillion that accrued to the state under
his watch.
He said that Governor
Nyesom Ezenwo Wike had to leave the Amaechi administration when the
former governor received to adhere to patriotic advice to use Rivers
State resources to develop the state.
"The
point of departure between Former Governor Amaechi and Governor
Nyesom Ezenwo Wike was Wike’s commitment to probity and
accountability. Governor Wike refused to be part of the financial
mismanagement of resources that accrued to the state ", Dr
Tam-George told the people of Rivers State.
He
explained that already Rivers people are witnessing the proper use
of resources as they are witnessing transformations across the
landscape.
Former Rivers State Governor,
Rotimi Amaechi left several months unpaid salaries, pensions abandoned
projects and scholarships despite receiving N3trillion as revenue
under his watch.

Only those that knows, know ameachi God will not forgive for what you did to rivers state
ReplyDeleteWhy is wike still sitting as governor?
ReplyDeleteAppeal court never conclude....abeg make dem hurry up biko.
Time is of the essence.
Are they trying to defame Soyinka or what? What does he need their birthday dinner for? If a governor feels it would give him credibility to associate with and fete Soyinka, it's understandable. Any monies taken by the governor should be demanded from the governor, not from a man invited to dinner.
ReplyDeleteIf. this story is true, Amechi can't be touched since he's in apc but if he was in pdp, then ...............you know the rest.
ReplyDeleteSo what next?? #vikkiloveslinda
