PDP Challenges Amaechi To Account For $380 Million … It’s A Blackmail -RivLEAF

The Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Rivers State, has called on former governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon ChibuikeRotimi Amaechi to explain how 380 million US Dollars got missing after selling off the State Gas Turbine.
The PDP in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Samuel Wonozike, also wants the former governor to account for the billions of naira he committed to the mono-rail project, and 1,000 bed hospital projects in the state during his tenure.
The PDP berated Amaechi for boasting that President Mohammadu Buhari was begging him to accept federal appointment, saying the former governor is not worth to be given any position of trust, if President Buhari really meant to take his anti-corruption drive seriously.
The party also accused the state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief David Ibiamu Ikanya of embezzling millions of naira meant for Bakasi’s refugees in the State.
The party denied APC’s claim that the PDP forged documents to indict Amaechi of corruption.
However, a socio-political group known as Rivers State Leadership Advancement Foundation (RivLEAF) has risen in defence of Amaechi saying the fomer governor left no unaccounted money in the State.
The Public Relations Officer of the group in Emohua Local Government Area of the State, Mr Mpanta Mpanta, also debunked the propaganda by PDP that Amaechi was boasting that President Buhari was  begging him for federal appointment.
Mr Mpanta debunked the insinuation yesterday in a chat with newsmen in Port Harcourt, yesterday described PDP’s allegations as a cheap blackmail.
The RivLEAF leader challenged the PDP in the State to come out with facts to prove that Amaechi said President Buhari was begging him for appointment.
Mpanta said there was no time Rt Hon Aamechi made such statement, describing it as a plot by the PDP to cause dissatisfaction between President Buhari and Amaechi and thereby deny the former  governor federal appointment.
