Special assistant to former Rivers State
Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Barrister Achi Williams-Wobodo, has declared
that the immediate past administration left more than N7billion in the state
government coffers.
In a statement
posted on his Facebook wall, yesterday, Barr Achi disclosed that the sum of
N1.4billion and another N800million were lodged in the Internally Generated
Revenue (IGR) account, and Federal Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) account,
respectively in Zenith Bank.
He further
disclosed that the sum of N1.7billion was lodged in another IGR account in Skye
Bank; the sum of N1.5billion lodged in the State Statutory Savings Account, and
N700million in Access Bank, N350million in Guaranty Trust Bank and another
N480million lodged in First Bank.
The former
governor’s aide wrote that, “The talk of no money was left in the Rivers State
Government Accounts is purely a case of malicious and criminal mischief made to
deceive the unsuspecting public and to malign the person of Rt. Hon. Amaechi
with the intent to misappropriate the remaining funds in those accounts.
“A reliable
source who informed me on condition of anonymity insists that as at the close
of Banking Operations on Thursday, 28th of May 2015, there were these funds in
the following accounts: N1.4 billion + in the IGR Account, Zenith Bank; N800
million + in the FAAC Account, Zenith Bank; N1.7 billion + in the IGR Account,
Skye Bank; N700 million + in Access Bank; N350 million + in GTB; N480 million +
in First Bank and N1.5 billion + in State Statutory Savings Account.
“The former
Rivers State governor, Rt. Hon. Amaechi left in the Rivers State Government
Accounts a cumulative amount in excess of N7 billion.”
Williams-Wobodo
challenged Governor Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike to prove him wrong by making public
the authentic bank statement of the accounts as at May 28, 2015, and urged the
people of the state to demand for the funds as they exist.
