The Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has appealed to the Federal Government to release the report of the forensic audit carried out on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
While speaking on the performance of Rotimi Amaechi, as a Minister of Transport under the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
He claimed the report was shelved to protect those who might be indicted in any form of fraud.
Wike also accused the wife of a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, of benefitting from the government when her husband was in power, but did not provide evidence.
Wike said,
”Let President Bola Ahmed Tinubu do us a favour and release the report of the forensic audit of the NDDC.Mr President should help Nigerians."
Wike’s statement comes a day after Amaechi, in an interview on Thursday, made glowing remarks about his wife’s occupation, saying she was “almost an industrialist”.
However, Wike was quick to dismiss the claim, rather insisting Amaechi’s wife was a beneficiary of a monthly contract to train women of the Niger Delta.
The minister said he came from a comfortable home and did not need to steal any money from public funds, alleging that Amaechi was one of the most corrupt human beings.
”I won’t say I was too rich like the Dangotes, but I didn’t have a small background. His (Amaechi’s) anger is that he saw me using a Rolls-Royce -and so what?
It was not given to me by a contractor; a contractor gave him, and that is a bribe.
He took from a contractor, but I will not do that. He (Amaechi) is one of the most corrupt people,” he said.
Wike also said that if his accusations were not contained in the NDDC forensic report, he would resign his position as the FCT minister.
“Let them release the document, if what I am saying is not in the document, I will resign as the minister of FCT. I don’t worship the office,” he said.
The minister also questioned the qualifications of Amaechi, claiming that the former Minister of Transport failed to graduate from the Rivers State University.
“Amaechi went to Rivers State University, but he couldn’t pass,”

Wike give it to them. Where ever they gather ADC they will fall and scatter. Greedy men of the same circle
ReplyDeleteWike with small sense ati big mouth.
ReplyDeleteTinubu should publish a report of where the sponsorship of his presidential ambition came from. You will wait till you turn skeleton.
My own is that if P.O gets the ticket to run for presidency with this newly formed party he can just kiss my vote goodbye! A party formed by Atiku, ElRufai and co... These are greedy and disgruntled politicians. You can't claim to be a saint amongst these guys! They have stained white and will stain yours! No way you will run a government without their input. These people don't really care about Nigerians, they are just upset and trying to get even with Tinubu! It's a classical case of rolling with pigs!
ReplyDeleteThen vote for Tinubu!!
DeleteAPC was formed by;
DeleteBisi Akande
Lai Mohammed
Bola Tinubu
Muhammad Buhari
Hope Uzodinma
Ganduje
Oya score their report cards.
The issue is that majority of Nigerians are frustrated.
Any party emerging to defeat Tinubu will be supported even if it's a Birthday party. They are in.
Hunger na ya mate?

Putakwa n'iru egbe.
Birds of a feather. 🙄🙄🙄
