The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday has taken bribery allegation against the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to God.
Rivers APC in a statement issued on Monday in Port Harcourt and signed by the State APC Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, insisted that Amaechi is clean and not guilty as charged. “We are convinced that God, who has always fought for Amaechi, will continue to save and strengthen him and will once again vindicate him,” the party said.
It described the allegations as evil plots by some sponsored and drowning judges who were looking for a tool to stay afloat against a man that dislodged them from power at the center.
“These calls being championed by the PDP are just the latest manifestation of the party’s frustration and fight against Amaechi in retaliation for his role in dislodging the PDP Government at the centre during the 2015 presidential elections.
"These useless calls based on the unfounded and baseless attempted bribery allegations against the former Rivers State Governor and the Minister of Transportation confirms our fears and stand that the two discredited Justices made these allegations as part of a political strategy to destroy APC and run down the political fortunes of this rising star".
The party recalled the failed plots by PDP to deny Amaechi the party's gubernatorial ticket he won convincingly in 2007 and the efforts PDP also made to ensure that Amaechi was neither screened nor appointed as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
