THE People Democratic Party in Rivers state on tuesday
insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari must investigate
the immediate past governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, over allegations of corruption.

This is just as the party petitioned the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, detailing alleged
corrupt practices that took place under Amaechi
The PDP Deputy Publicity Secretary in Rivers, Mr.
Samuel Nwanosike, said since President Buhari had
promised to maintain a zero tolerance for
corruption, he should not be silent on how the past
administration in Rivers managed the affairs of the
state.

Nwanosike, who spoke with journalists in Port
Harcourt, urged the President not to spare anyone
found culpable, adding that proceeds from some of
the past transactions in the state could not be traced.

Reacting to statements credited to some members of
the All Progressives Congress on the state of Rivers
economy, Nwanosike lamented that the current
administration in the state had to borrow to pay
salary arrears, which the Amaechi administration
failed to pay.
He dismissed the claims that some PDP members in
the state were planning to defect to the APC,
describing it as laughable.
According to Nwanosike, “Since the President of
Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, has told the
world that he is a man with zero tolerance for
corruption, we, the people of Rivers, are asking that
there should be no sacred cow. We are saying that
corruption in Rivers State should be investigated and
justice should be done.
“As we speak to you, we cannot trace the proceeds
that emanated from all the government’s
transactions that that took place in Rivers State.”

The PDP chieftain explained that a petition had been
sent to the EFCC over the alleged fraudulent
transactions involving the immediate past
administration in the state between December 1 and
8, 2014.
He said, “Can you imagine that between December 1
and 8, 2014, with one address – 25 Trans-Amadi
Road, Port Harcourt, over N21bn of Rivers funds
were transferred? We are asking, where did these
funds go?”

On the claim by the APC governorship candidate, Dr.
Dakuku Peterside, that some PDP members in the
state were planning to defect to the APC, Nwanosike
challenged him (Peterside) to mention the names of
such PDP members.

In his reaction, however, a former aide to Amaechi,
Chief Tony Okocha, said Amaechi had never been
afraid of probe, adding that the ex-governor was
transparent in all he did for the people of the state.
Okocha explained that the PDP in the state was only
interested in soiling the good name of the former
governor and maintained that the party would not
achieve such an aim.

Am a big fan on buhari, I believe he can do well, but that doesn't mean he should act on favouritism with party members, if really he wants to take this corruption fight serious, he should probe caucus, and that include Amaechi, let the law be transparent to everyone. No one should be above the law.
