I have these few questions for those giving in to the very puny effort by PDP to drag Amaechi’s Name to the mud
1) who is to probe Amaechi’s government wike or Buhary?
If it is Buhary that have to do this, it means that he also have to probe the 36 state governors as well as the 774 council bosses. We all know that this is insane and practically impossible. The state governors has the prerogative and time to probe and bring to book their predecessors just as the president also has the discretionary leeway to bring to book the dealings of past presidents. So people saying that the president should start his anti corruption war by probing past governors like Amaechi, Fashola, Tinubu,Elechi, Theoder Orji, et el, where we have state governors that have firsthand knowledge of their predecessors’ dealings are either out of touch with reality or deliberately obstinate

2)Probe on Amaechi by Wike. How far?
Wike’s probe panel set up over two months ago to investigate Amaechi’s government is conspicuously blown to oblivion due to dearth of incriminating evidence to indict the former governor. What PDP now resort to is cheap blackmail and propaganda that lack substance to sway the sentiment of impressionable minds. The latest was the one that was done by scannews.com a Rivers State government propaganda media that should not be taken seriously.
3)how come no commissioner, head of agency/parastatal, permanent secretary, Accountant general, etc of Amachi fingere.d so far?
In the mix of all the petty allegation of corruption levied against Amaechi why is it that no commissioner, head of agency/parastatal, permanent secretary, accountant general, former aid to the governor, etc is being indicted or seriously linked to misappropriation of found. It is almost impossible in a bureaucratic settings for a leader to be indicted without involving some of the people that worked with him. A shining example abounds in What is currently playing out in the federal level where heads are currently rolling over corruption ___former ministers, heads of agencies/parastatal, etc, are all involved in the mix.
4) How come the accountant general of the state was summarily dismissed without any reason or serious allegation of corruption against him.
Anybody that is abreast with state administration will understand that the accountant general of the state comes off as good or as bad as the governor in financial dealings because the former keeps records and is in privy of all the financial transaction of the state. The fact that the acc. General of the state was dismissed and allowed to go scort free without any serious allegation go to a greater extent to vindicate the former governor of all the unfounded allegation against him. Should the new appointee cook up some phony book? Only time will tell.

5)if Amaechi is corrupt and financially reckless as PDP claim why was it that as a governor he performed exceptionally well and did not plunge the state into debt
It is on record that Amaechi did not sink Rivers state into debt despite the monumental projects he embarked as a governor. In fact, he has one of the least debt profile among the rich states( check out the debt stock of states here) whilst leaving over N100b! owed by FG in the state coffers. Is it not preposterous to mention Amaechi’s name in the same line with financial recklessness.
For those of you that may have forgotten so soon the unparalleled giant strides of the former Rivers governor below is a summary of some of the land mark legacies of the former Amiable Rivers governor
1)Built over 500 schools with modern state of the art facilities with at least 10 in each LGA (which other state governor can beat this in quality and quantity), also transformed the once ailing state University to the standard it is today. no more cultism, strike, etc
2)Built over 100 primary and secondary health centers with well equipped facilities with at least 3 in each LGA (which other state governor can beat this in quality and quantity)
3)Trained and employed over 13,000 teachers and over 400 doctors(trained Abroad) to man those beautiful schools and health center respectively (even the president can’t match this)

4)He revolutionized infrastructure in Rivers state. Anybody living in Rivers state and really know the state very well will recall that Rivers state as a whole barely has five dualised road before the inception of Amaechi’s administration but the story has change as we have lost count in the number of high quality dualised road with underground drainage and pedestrian walk ways. Several fly over and bridges were constructed. Inner street construction was taken to another level with underground drainages and pedestrian walk way D-line, Oroworokwo, GRA areas come to mind. Check out the infrastructure in Rainbow town initiative stated by the Amaechi’s administration where we have clusters of several up rise building that are almost in completion stage. We also have the greater PH where modern city infrastructure is being constructed( Roads, underground utility system, etc) , Olympic sports complex of international standard with modern state of the art basket ball court (two), Olympic standard aquarium (Two), Fifa standard football pitch (40,000 capacity second largest in the country after Abuja stadium), volley court, etc.
How about the phenomenal revolution in agriculture, the Songhai initiative, Banana plantation, cassava plantation etc, RSSDA oversea scholarship for both indigenes and non indigenes, etc. the list goes on and on.
