BY GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU, <\/b><\/span>CNN iReport <\/b><\/i><\/span>NORTH AMERICA & EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, NAIJA STANDARD<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Amaechi<\/a>HE <\/b><\/span>was former Governor of Rivers State. He lives life to the full and flies anywhere in the world in his private bombardier plane ever since he became governor of the oil-rich state. He was President of Governors’ Forum. He takes pleasure in using his wife, Judith Amaechi, former Commissioner of Health<\/span>, Dr. Samson Parker, who doubles as a front partner in Clinotech LTD -a Blue Pacific Canadian Hospitality health consulting firm he allegedly had some percentage stakes. Amaechi was most financial supporting public-officer to the Presidential Election Campaign <\/span><\/strong> which brought General Muhammadu Buhari (retired) to power as Nigeria’s president on May 29, 2015. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CNN iReport<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span> <\/b>gathered that under his tenure from October 2007 to May 28,2015, a huge sum of N70billion was either ‘stolen, squandered and plundered’ directly under his watchful eyes been a governor then using various forms of fronts. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our correspondent investigation showed that Amaechi sunk over Thirty million United States Dollars ($30million ) into the Presidential Electioneering Campaign of Buhari which invariably helped to ’tilt victory’ for the then opposition party, All Progressives Party, APC- now turns ruling party. This over $30million siphoned from Rivers State treasury further increased the poverty-line among the masses in the oil-rich state.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How Amaechi, Wife, other loot Rivers State blind<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Undercover reports by<\/span> <\/b>CNN iReport<\/b><\/i><\/span> <\/b>confirmed that similar to the way the then Governor of Delta State, James Ibori , now serving jail term for corruption in London massively contributed financially for the victory of late President Musa Yar’Adua\/Goodluck Jonathan ticket yet docked by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for fraud, same way Amaechi is seeing ironically hanging-on to the notoriety of being highest South-South then Governor to have contributed financially in millions of United States dollars to Buhari’s victory. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In 2008, it was gathered that Judith and Parker, the then Commissioner for health connived with a Canada based company<\/span> \u201cClinotech LTD\u201d<\/span><\/strong> to <\/span>embezzle through the ministry of health 50 million dollars from the coffers of Rivers state under the pretense that the trio of Judith Amaechi, Parker and Clinotech LTD were about to execute a health project of building 1,000 bed hospital at ‘Greater CITY Portharcourt’, where as it was all lies after all. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To convince an average Rivers State native, Amaechi allegedly directed Parker to ensure ‘a fake soil test was carried out’ primarily to discredit the earlier location of the former state hospital. Pronto, ‘hoax result’ surfaced in Rivers State ministry of health claiming outcome showed \u201cfailed soil test on the earlier location of the state hospital, now prompting Amaechi’s administration to relocate the state hospital to Greater City in Port Harcourt\u201d, revealed a source in Amaechi’s government.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CNN iReport<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong> can assure that after Amaechi’s government destroyed the former state hospital located by State CID which had been in existence for 25 years, sold same assets at give-away prices to friends, claimed 1,000 bed hospital project his administration intends to re-build the state hospital failed soil test. By this, he deceived the teeming populace that the 1,000 state bed Hospital project would commence in Greater City Portharcourt, but up till today no such hospital has been built and the 50 million dollars paid then into coffers of the Rivers state government, withdrawn by Clinotech LTD under Amaechi’s direction is no-where to be traced or found. To worsen matters, Clinotech LTD, the fraudulent Canadian health company has since moved back to its Riverside Industrial Park, Richmond.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

All of these self-enrichment happened in Amaechi\u2019s first term in office against protests by the good people of Rivers state, Amaechi insisted never to drop Parker, as the man continued his alleged financial manipulation in Amaechi\u2019s second term without any probe, investigation or arrest by Amaechi since it was business as usual. This was the reason Amaechi was fond and once captured in foreign media during a live interview in United States showing off ‘wad of US dollars in his suit.’<\/p>\n

Amaechi sells off Rivers State 3 Electricity Gas Urban<\/b><\/p>\n

Desperate to amass more wealth, Amaechi government sold off all the three Electricity Gas Urban in Rivers state namely: Trans Amadi Gas Turbine, Omoukwu Gas Turbine and Afam Gas Turbine for a whopping sum of 386 million dollars which was paid into the coffers of Rivers State with 30 million dollars as down initial payment and final payment of 356 million dollars.<\/p>\n

The 30 million dollars was paid early 2014 into Rivers State coffers but was diverted into an account of a Bureau De Change by Amaechi. As earlier explained in the heat of the election campaign last year the final payment which is also a balance of 356 million dollars was paid into the Rivers state coffers in December but 24 hours after, Amaechi moved the fund to a Bureau De Change with no single penny of the money left in the Rivers State coffers.<\/p>\n

Electorates of Rivers state are asking the EFCC to immediately investigate this findings and bring Amaechi to book on his corrupt activities and make him return the money gotten from the Electricity Gas Urbans sale and also return the embezzled 50 million dollars stolen by his wife Judith, Parker and the Canada based company Clinotech LTD right under his watch and also bring them to book.<\/p>\n

Pays N1.5bn twice to Messrs Collect Solutions (Unqualified Revenue Contractor)<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Amaechi ridiculed Rivers State Internal Revenue Service (RSIRS) by introducing unethical practices through back-door contract awards and untenable policies in favor of Messrs Collect Solutions-an unqualified\/unlicensed Revenue Contractor against the the standard norm of RSIRS.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In an open letter to Buhari signed by Livingstone Wichie, on behalf of Integrity Group, he detailed the financial discrepancies of Amaechi and dragged him to court, he is urging Nigerian President \u201cNever to appoint Amaechi a minister, as there are glaring cases of corruption, unlawful enrichment & conversion of Public Funds amounting to N70bn between October 2007 and May 28, 2015 by the former Governor while in office\u201d<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

‘Amaechi not Qualified as a Minister’-WIKE<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In a recent interview, Nyesom Wike, Governor of Rivers State says based on Amaechi’s fraudulent looting of the state, Buhari should not appoint him a minister. His words: \u201cIf Mr. President, known for his mantra of zero tolerance for corruption; is saying that he is not going to appoint anybody with a stained image as a member of his cabinet, and Rivers State people are saying that Rotimi Amaechi is not qualified for an appointment. There is no problem with that.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
