Below is a press
statement from former Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi denying claims in
that he operates an account with an unnamed bank in Minnesota, USA. The press
statement was released by his media aide, David Iyofor. Read it below...
Our attention has
been drawn to fake stories making the rounds on the Internet and social media
about former Rivers State Governor Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. The
stories are all what they are- concocted and failed attempts to ridicule the
person and achievements of Rt. Hon. Amaechi. Our initial reaction was to
ignore them, but to clear the doubts of those concerned we have decided to
issue this statement.
There
is absolutely no truth in fabricated story saying Amaechi has an account with a
Bank in Minnesota, USA; same as the concocted write-up alleging that CNN’s
Christiane Amanpour accused Amaechi of corruption. They even went ahead to say
Amaechi wrote to Bancorp and another bank in Switzerland stating that the said
funds were deposited in error. This is absolutely false.
It is
important for the public to note that no such account or accounts exists. There
is also no story of Amanpour linking the former governor with any corruption
issue or case whatsoever, not on CNN or any verified news source or website
associated with Amanpour.
These
are all lies, concocted in an attempt to put the public against the acclaimed
people’s governor whose achievements as governor of Rivers State speaks volumes
and drew admiration and accolades from within and outside Nigeria.
All
these fictitious stories are the product of the ill imaginations of wicked and
unscrupulous people opposed to Amaechi; those jealous and at unease with his
continued rise in the country and beyond; those whose life ambition is to
pull-Amaechi-down.
We
therefore urge the people to discard and disregard the unfounded rumours. They
are all fake.
RT. HON. CHIBUIKE ROTIMI
