The leadership of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, has uncovered an insidious plan by Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike
and elements of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to blackmail Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers State and portray him as a
corrupt and put him in bad light before the public.
The devious plan, coordinated by the PDP
acting National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, Emma Okah and Spokesman of Gov.
Wike, Mr. Opunabo Inko-Tariah, indicates that the governor’s men have reached
out to certain persons within and outside of Rivers State to initiate,
formulate and contrive a false damaging report bordering on alleged corrupt
practices of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and circulate same to individuals
and institutions within Nigeria and abroad with a view to damaging the
incorruptible character and rising profile of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi
in order to blackmail and put pressure on President Buhari not to appoint the
former governor into his government. The international community and especially
the Nigerian public know that Gov Amaechi is one of the most forthright,
transparent and honest leaders in the country today ; that is why he had
the courage and moral strength to confront ex-President Goodluck Jonathan and
the wife.
The APC also uncovered that those whom the
cooked up report will be sent to include the US Embassy, UK High Commission, EU
Commission, several international organisations such as Transparency
International amongst others. The forged report will also be sent to local and
foreign media houses such as the BBC [Hausa Service], Dutch radio,VOA [Hausa
Service] amongst others.
The sum total of the efforts by Nyesom Wike is aimed
at generally ensuring that the rising profile of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi before most Nigerians, foreign institutions and organisations and
governments is rolled back, tainted and he is made politically irrelevant in
the scheme of things.
The APC would like to put Nigerians on
notice to completely ignore such reports whenever they surface in the media in
the name of fake and contrived individuals or groups. We also urge various
security agencies to expeditiously unmask persons behind such highly mendacious
reports and bring them to justice immediately.
