The Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, is behind the plot to destroy the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has alleged.
While addressing thousands of PDP supporters during the PDP campaign rally at Eleme on Thursday, Mr Wike said that Mr Amaechi made the confession at a meeting with an APC chieftain in Abuja.
“At that meeting in Abuja last Monday, Amaechi confessed that he is the person behind the illegal crisis facing the CJN. He bragged that he will destroy the CJN the way he brought former President Goodluck Jonathan down.
“He wants to destroy the nation’s judiciary. This particular evil will finally consume Amaechi,” Wike said.
He said that Amaechi is notorious for the destruction of the Judiciary, having closed down Rivers State Judiciary for two years.
He wondered why Amaechi hates the Judiciary, despite being a beneficiary of the its vibrancy.
The governor wondered why Amaechi would say that PDP is a party of thieves when he was Rivers Assembly Speaker for eight years under the PDP and eight years as Governor under the PDP.
The governor called for an independent investigation into the murder of the Kano State Resident Electoral Commissioner and his family through arson during the 2015 general elections.
He noted that Ibrahim Idris was the Commissioner of Police in Kano State when this ugly crime was committed.
“The Former IGP Ibrahim Idris is a representative of Satan in Nigeria. He represented Satan but the prayers and fasting of Nigerians ensure he was retired despite plans to retain him.
“If Buhari has any integrity, he should investigate the killing of the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Kano alongside his family during the 2015 general elections. Buhari must ask what killed the REC and his family while Ibrahim Idris was a commissioner of police,” he said.
