Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi arrives at National Assembly for ministerial screening on October 22, 2015 Twitter
The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that the Senate’s confirmation of former Governor, Rotimi Amaechi as a minister is an approval of corruption.
The Rivers PDP made the comment via a statement released by its Chairman, Felix Obuah.
The statement reads in part:
“While
we look to the end of the APC-led federal government which has started
on precarious feet of falsehood and deceit, we can only say that the end
can never contradict its means which in this case, is suspect.”
“Our
regret is the APC’s disservice and disappointment to the entire
Nigerians whose hope of getting a better alternative government from the
Buhari administration and 8th Senate has been dashed.”
“It’s
an illusion to think that Amaechi and his like as ministers would
perform anything different from what they did while they served in all
other capacities.”
Amaechi was confirmed by the Senate on October 29, 2015, despite protests from members of the PDP in the legislative chamber.
The
former governor’s screening and confirmation was surrounded by
controversy due to a petition raised against him by PDP Senators from
his state citing allegations of corruption levelled against him.
Senator members of the PDP staged a walk out after Amaechi was confirmed to register their disapproval of the decision.
The Senate has confirmed all of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 36 ministerial nominees but they are yet to be sworn in.
