Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Nigeria’s Minister of Transportation, has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari will fire him if he is found to be guilty of corruption allegations.
The former governor of Rivers state disclosed this in a recent interview with Osasu Igbinedion on the Osasu Show.
He said: “You know I have said I several times, if I was to be the governor, and I have evidence against them, I would go to court.
“Okay, I’m at the court of appeal as former governor and I said ‘can I see the report that says I was indebted?’ Till today, they’re not able to produce the report so the case is not able to go on because judges of the court of appeal say ‘we can’t go on except we see the documents to base our judgment on’.
“Till today, Rivers State government is not able to produce the document. So if a man is corrupt, don’t go to radio and TV, produce the evidence.
“No Nigerian is thinking about it; oh Buhari should sack Governor Amaechi he’s corrupt, provide it, he doesn’t need to sack me. What will sack me is to provide the evidence in court; the president will have no choice but to relieve me of my position.”
