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.
