APC says Amaechi cannot lie, he’s a true child of God

The All Progressives Con­gress (APC) in Rivers State has defended the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, on the recent bribe saga, saying the minister cannot offer bribe to any judge in the country to buy justice.

The party which claimed that the minister has fear of God, dismissed the allegations that Amaechi had met the two Supreme Court Judges to seek favour for APC governorship candidates in Rivers State and Akwa Ibom State as bias and baseless.

In separate letters to the Chief Justice of Nigeria Jus­tice, Inyang Okoro and Jus­tice Sylvester Ngwuta, Judge of the Supreme Court had ac­cused Amaechi of instigating their ordeal because they re­fused to avert justice in his fa­vour.

Speaking yesterday in Port Harcourt, the APC State Secre­tary, Chief Emeka Beke stated that Amaechi was a true wor­shipper of God and cannot in­tend to buy justice with mon­ey.

Beke who said he has known Amaechi for over 15 years said that the dignity of the minister cannot be ques­tioned, stressing that the allegations were dubious tales aimed at diverting the atten­tion of the public from the real issue at hand.

He urged the Judges to al­low Amaechi to concentrate in his national assignment, noting that the duo concoct­ed the accusation to muddle the issues of their arrest and the ongoing investigation by the DSS.

Beke said, “They are just trying to destroy the politi­cal image of Amaechi because they see that he is growing po­litically. We want to call on the good people of Nigeria that Amaechi has the fear of God and cannot use bribe a judge to buy justice. He is a true child of God and has integrity.

“The allegations made by Justice Inyang Okoro and Jus­tice Sylvester Ngwuta against the Minister of Transporta­tion, Hon. Amaechi, are base­less and concocted. It is aimed to demean the minister of transportation.
