The deputy national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, has hinted that former Rivers governor, Rotimi Amaechi is behind his ongoing corruption ordeal.
Secondus said this yesterday while admitting that he received vehicles from Jide Omokore but claimed that he had no knowledge of Omokore’s dealings with NNPC.
“I want to state categorically that what I received from my friend, Jide Omokore were cars and buses supplied by a well-known car company, Skymit Motors apparently from a credit facility Mr. Omokore has with the company.
“I don’t have any knowledge of the so-called transaction the investigators are alleging he had with NNPC.
He then alleged that Amaechi has manipulated the media to misrepresent the case against him. “Against this background, it is most disheartening that the facts of the matter under investigation have been grossly misrepresented in the media, apparently under inducement by some political opponents in the APC particularly, a Minister from Rivers State.
Amaechi is the only minister from Rivers State serving under President Muhammadu Buhari’s government. He is the Minister of Transportation.
Secondus went on to state that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is out to humiliate leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“This is in line with the strategy of the ruling party to hide under the anti-corruption fight to humiliate the leadership of our Party.
“I have been granted bail under very stringent conditions after eight days in detention. Since the EFCC did not establish any case against me, I find my needless detention a clear case of witch-hunt and pure political persecution that has become a stock in trade of the APC government.
“My immediate concern is the denial of the fundamental human rights, excessive physical incarceration and the orchestrated negative media campaign completely skewed against those being investigated.
“Nevertheless, I hereby restate my confidence in the rule of law and the relevant institutions for the resolution of this matter on its merit in the interest of justice,” he said. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

You accepted over 20 vehicles just like that free but now claiming someone else is humiliating you?What sort of humans are this Nigerian politicians,definitely not God created beings
ReplyDeleteMay Amadiora clamp down that your pussy mouth! How many cars have ever given out to the poor? He gave you that number of cars and buses through credit purchase? What do you take Nigerians for, fools? Most of you are unclever thieves, now I see clearly the distinction between stealing and corruption. Under IBB and OBJ it was corruption ie the stealing was not brazen but under GEJ it was open looting. All PDP leaders deserve to rot in jail
