Nigeria - The governor-elect of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has vowed to probe the outgoing governor, Rotimi Amaechi, for looting the state's treasury, Punch reports.
While receiving the interim report of the Transition Committee in Port Harcourt on Monday, he declared that his administration would carry out a forensic audit of all government accounts.
He explained that the measure would enable him to recover funds that might have allegedly been stolen by top officials of the outgoing administration in the state.
“I am not going to be intimidated. The only way we can work together is to check the ills of the past. The right thing must be done. Those who have stolen the resources of the state must be made to account for them.
“I have the political will to drive the process to its logical conclusion. The massive stealing of government resources was a deliberate attempt to create problems for the incoming administration,” Wike said.
“All the top officials of Amaechi administration who have refused to cooperate in the interest of Rivers State during the transition period will soon cooperate whether they like it or not.
“Those who have closed the courts will be the same persons rushing to the courts when we open the courts,” Wike further declared.
