These are not the best of times for the Minister of Transportation. The
house of the presidency appears struck on a path to self implosion as
reliable information available through sources within the presidency
indicate the President had ordered for a comprehensive investigation
into the allegations leveled on the Transport Minister by numerous
Justices of the Federation. And in turn, the Transport Minister is said
to have threatened retaliation by exposing the President’s dirty deals
over the alleged bribery allegation.
Following what appeared as serialized exposure by the Justices of the
federation of the involvement of Rotimi Amaechi in the attempt to
subvert the judicial process, the President of the federation, General
Mohammadu Buhari fell under the immense pressure from the international
community to investigate the validity in the claims leveled by the
Justices. To this end, the President instructed for a probe be launched
into the activities as alleged by the Judges. The Judges had alleged
that Amaechi attempted to bribe them in more than one occasion.
Information available to the media reliably confirms a probe into the
claims of the Judges were launched based on the instructions of Mr.
President. All of the bank accounts known to belong to Amaechi,
according to our source, have been placed under watch – and the
historical activity on the account sequestered.
In retaliation, the former Governor of Rivers State and the present
Minister of Transport – Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has chosen to go the
route of blackmail. He is said to have opted to expose all involved
parties in the said attempted bribery of the justices. “Amaechi has
documentary evidence that shows Buhari was in-the-know about the attempt
to bribe the Judges and how many of the campaign funds were raised.”
“Amaechi has assembled the documents and has sent over to
Saharareporters, with whom he has a working financial relationship to
publish the documents“, stated our source who explained that Amaechi had
used his relationship with Saharareporters to push the All Progressive
Congress [APC] change mantra. “The relationship is still existing”.
It is expected that in the coming days or weeks that Saharareporters
will begin publication of documents – that is – if the presidency
continues its probe of Amaechi. But what is certain is that Amaechi has
already forwarded the said documents to the publishers of
Saharareporters.
