A former Governor of Rivers
State, now Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has again,
claimed that he has nothing to do with money.
Amaechi said that even people
that criticise him in Rivers State know he has a good reputation, adding that
he does not indulge in alcohol or cigarette.
The former governor, who spoke
with Vanguard, said he has the moral standing to criticise members of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for allegedly looting the nation for almost 16
years because he was not corrupt.
He said, “I ask people ‘what do I
need money for?’ I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I am not the one with luxurious
houses and cars and it is like what I said when I became governor. I said
Nigerian politicians actually commit what they call manslaughter, which is
killing by accident when you don’t have intention to kill. How do we
politicians kill by accident?
“The money that is meant for the
people and earmarked to be used for building hospitals, you take it for your
private use and the hospitals are not built and so Nigerians go to hospitals
where there are no drugs and they die without knowing it. For me, you have
committed manslaughter and the problem for me is that Nigerians don’t hold us
accountable!”
