APC Accuses Wike, Akpabio Responsible For Accusations Against Amaechi

The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress APC, said the allegations against Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi by Justice Inyang Okoro and Justice Sylvester Ngwuta of the Supreme Court have been linked to several top Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders.

The APC in a statement signed by its Chairman, Chief (Dr) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, JP alleged that the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, the governor of Delta State Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Akwa Ibom State Udom Emmanuel and the immediate past governor of Akwa Ibom State who’s now the Senate Leader, Godswill Akpabio (all PDP leaders) have been linked to the Supreme Court Justices’ allegations against Amaechi.

The statement reads: “These big Four PDP politicians are said to be the biggest spenders who allegedly induced and bribed the Supreme Court Justices with hefty sums of money to get favourable judgements. They are said to be the major sources of the money, wealth and properties that has been traced by the DSS to Justices Okoro and Ngwuta.

“These PDP bigwigs are said to have advised the Justices to drag Amaechi into their arrest and investigation by the DSS. They believe doing so would muddle the waters, divert the media and public attention from the corruption allegations against them and make the whole arrest and investigations look like a political vendetta against the justices. Our findings indicate that they told the justices that the Buhari government is after them, wants to bring them down, and that they must drag Amaechi down as well.

They deceived the justices to think and believe that Amaechi is the one behind their travails because of some state governorship electoral matters the apex court handled, that the All Progressives Congress (APC) lost. Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Delta governorship election appeals were cited to hoodwink justices Okoro and Ngwuta into believing that Amaechi orchestrated their arrest and investigation.

“It would be recalled that in the recent past, a few media outlets, especially SAHARA REPORTERS had written articles on the scandal and the link between Justices Okoro and Ngwuta of the apex court and these four PDP leaders. SAHARA REPORTERS had specifically written about how huge sums of money in different currencies, were channelled by these PDP leaders to induce the Supreme Court Justices to influence Supreme Court rulings and get favourable judgements in the governorship election appeals of Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Delta States.
