The Rate Of Ghost Contracts and Looting Under Amaechi is Shocking - Rivers PDP Blows Hot

Rotimi Amaechi
 
The Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers State has made new allegations against the ex governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi. The Rivers PDP has described as shocking and wicked the many cases of alleged uncovered diversion of funds meant for the rehabilitation of dilapidated public schools in the State under the administration of Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Daily Post reports.
 
The chairman of the State PDP,  Bro Felix Obuah, made this observation while reacting to the published list of persons invited by the State Senior Secondary Schools Board for explanations over monies received from the immediate past administration under Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi but not used for the projects so awarded and some, collected without project sites.
 
According to Daily Post, the State PDP chairman said he was more worried that a government that made so much noise about giving the best education to the Rivers children could condone such recklessness and allowed monies earmarked to renovate the schools and provide the right atmosphere for studying frittered away with careless abandon.
 
While enjoining the State government not to limit its searchlight to the mess in the education sector, Bro Obuah said this was the kind of fraud the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC should be going after with a view to recovering the loots and bringing to book the culprits.
 
The State PDP chairman, however, regretted that rather than spread its dragnet for such fraudsters to sanitize the society, the anti-craft agency was busy haunting opponents of the All Progressives Congress, APC, innocent citizens, most of whom have spent the better part of their lives in service to the country.
 
“Notwithstanding the collaboration between those responsible for the parlous state of the public schools and the general looting of Rivers State treasury, and the anti-corruption agents, the Rivers State government should not leave any stone unturned in exposing illegalities discovered anywhere in the State under the administration of Amaechi and those behind them no matter the social status of their perpetrators,” Obuah stated.
 
He, therefore, urged all those implicated in the ghost contracts and looting in Rivers State under the Amaechi administration to do the needful, by being ready and willing to refund the stolen funds and save the State further waste of scarce resources on litigations.
