Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has insisted that the immediate past governor of the state, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, remained untainted with corruption.
The state APC urged President Muhammadu Buhari to disregard “desperate” efforts by the current Governor of the State, Chief Nyesom Wike, to tarnish Amaechi’s image.
A statement signed by its State Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, and issued in Port Harcourt on Monday said “We make bold to say that if there is any clean and spotless former governor in Nigeria, that person is Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, CON.
“Anybody, who knows Amaechi well enough, will readily testify that he is an honest, sincere, but courageous gentleman, a first-class patriot, who is ever ready to go the extra mile to see that Nigeria becomes a better place for the present and future generations.”
APC also described the documentary aired on the private television as satanic and part of the state governor’s propaganda war against Amaechi, adding that Wike had earmarked billions of naira for his plot to destroy the character of Amaechi.
“Other propaganda tools planned to be deployed in the war against Amaechi include sponsored publications such as advertorials, columns, editorials and Op-Ed articles in major international, national and local print media,” the state APC said.
