The
former governor spoke, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, while addressing loyalists
of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Amaechi
said he was in the Rivers State capital to quietly attend a church
program and will leave same day, adding that he had clear documents pointing at
the alleged corruption acts of the governor.
Amaechi
vowed never to appear before the Justice George Omereji Commission
of Inquiry investigating alleged sale of the assets of the state by
his government, insisting that the establishment of the commission did not
comply with constitutional provisions.
The
former governor said he will appear before any properly constituted commission
in the state.
“I have
been listening while in Abuja to Nyesom Wike accusing me of
corruption and I laugh.
Even
Nyesom Wike knows that I don’t like money, he knows that”, he stated.
“The
pressure Wike is putting on us is to let somebody call us together
to a meeting to withdraw our case challenging his election from court..
The party has a right to go to court. The law of Nigeria says there is no
independent candidate. Even if I, Amaechi, Peterside withdraw, APC will carry
on with the case.
“The
funny thing about the young man is that he knows I know him. I was his
governor, I have documents to show that he is a contractor. I am not a thief;
so I don’t know what this young man is talking about.”
The
former governor said he had had only one local bank account since he
became governor.
According
to him, he never handled any contract while he was governor.
The
former governor, who accused INEC, SSS, Army and militants of conniving
to rob the APC of victory in the last gubernatorial election in the
state, said he and his party will continue to fight until they get justice from
the court.
