In what seems to be a twist on events, the immediate
past governor of Rivers state, Rotimi Amaechi, has gone away from being
accused of hiving off the state’s funds to accusing his successor,
Nyesom Wike, of N45 billion loan taken by his administration.
The erstwhile governor of the oil rich sate stated this on Sunday,
October 25, during a special thanksgiving service organised to mark the
October 25 ruling of the Supreme Court, which brought him into power as
governor in 2007, The Punch reports.
In the statement, the former governor said that he had borrowed N300
billion, subsequently paid N245 billion back and left about N15 billion
in the state coffers; only for the present administration led by
Governor Wike not to be borrowing to pay contractors but borrowing for
their personal gratification.
