Emerging report, allegedly revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari, has ordered the resignation of the former Governor of Rivers State, who is now the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi.
Also alleged to have been asked to resign are: Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola; and Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari; over various allegations of corruption.
A source in the Presidential Villa, disclosed that Buhari worried that having these persons in his cabinet could put so much to questions about his personality, and frustrate the present anti-corruption war, had advised them to quietly resign.
The source also said the President reminded them of his earlier warning, that if he sacked any of his appointees, such would be prosecuted.
It would be recalled, that there had been several allegations of corruption flying in and outside the media about Amaechi.
A leading Newspaper in the United Kingdom, UK, ‘The Mail Daily, on Sunday, May 15, 2016, published a report revealing how Rotimi Amaechi allegedly looted Nigeria’s treasury.
The report claimed that Buhari’s “fantastically corrupt” friend, spent over $140 million on the President’s 2015 campaign, and has been accused of stealing £500 million.
Also a Judicial Commission of Inquiry in Rivers State, had allegedly indicted the former Governor for looting the treasury of the State, when he served as Governor for eight years. Amaechi had however, denied these various allegations.
His contemporary, Babatunde Fashola, had equally been petitioned over the mismanagement of Lagos State funds.
Recall, that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was petitioned by the Civil Society Network Against Corruption, a coalition of anti-corruption organisations in Nigeria, over alleged “questionable expenditures” of the administration of Babatunde Fashola. He allegedly approved before he left office, N78.3 million from the State’s treasury, for an upgrade of his personal website, an allegation he had since denied.
Relatively, it has also been alleged that the President’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, took N500 million from operators of International Telecommunications Firm, MTN, to help the telecommunications giant mitigate the fine imposed on it by the Federal Government.
The Chief of Staff, was further allegedly involved in a deal of taking money from Jide Omokore, a shady Businessman, who was allegedly involved in corruption deals in the oil sector, during the preceding administration.
“The President has been waiting patiently for them to resign”, the source stressed.
