The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, says no anti-corruption agency in the country can probe him.
Amaechi was reacting to a Punch report on wednesday that he along with some other former governors: Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano); Sullivan Chime (Enugu); Babatunde Fashola (Lagos); Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Shehu Shema (Katsina) and Martin Elechi of Ebonyi State were being probed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and related offences Commission.
Speaking on behalf of the ex governor, Chief Tony Okocha, a former aide to Amaechi, told Punch that the ex-governor was not afraid of ICPC or the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as long as the probe was not a witch-hunt.
Okocha, however, recalled that the ICPC and the EFCC had not vacated a court order stopping any of them from investigating any Rivers Government official and as such could not probe him.
He stated that Governor Nyesom Wike was a beneficiary of such order from the court, adding that until the court injunction was vacated, it would be illegal for the ICPC to probe his boss.
“I have always said that Amaechi is not afraid of the EFCC or the ICPC as long as such probe is not a witch-hunt. Again, there is a court order that the EFCC or other agency like it cannot probe any government official in the state. Wike is a beneficiary of that court order.
“Until that court order is vacated, the ICPC or the EFCC have no right to investigate Amaechi. Since what they are going to investigate is his (Amaechi’s) activities while in government, the EFCC and the ICPC do not have such right to do so based on the standing court order.” he said.
Hmmm!!!!..I think Amaechi should give himself up for probing if he comes to equity with clean hands.All this loud talks without any action from both sides is so confusing.
Why can't they probe him? Which immunity is covering him again?

ReplyDeleteWhhaaaaaaaaaaat?
DeleteOMEffingGosh.
Ishi nini?
Why would a court grant a standing order against probing any government official?
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of problems in this country.
Wike is not at the mercy of the FG...but at the mercy of d judges in the tribunal...NJC is so not happy wt Amaechi and they are waiting for the tribunal proceedings to deal wt him at the supreme court. Amaechi flagrantly disregarded d appointment of the NJC s candidate for attorney general which he Amaechi nominated and closed down the courts in rivers state causing bad market for lawyers and judges.
ReplyDeleteIn this our democracy, all the powers do not lie wt d the executive or legislature...the judiciary is equally powerful and potent
