Rivers State chapter
of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has described calls for the sack of
Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi and his Science and Technology
counterpart, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu as frivolous and mischievous.
In a statement by
the state Chairman, Chief Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the APC said it has taken
notice of a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Prince Dayo Adeyeye,
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to
ask Amaechi and Onu to step aside
“because some Justices accused and being investigated of corruption had
curiously described their investigation as act of persecution by the Buhari
administration for not favouring the APC, in election matters arising from the
2015
general elections in some states.”
Ikanya said PDP’s
call “flies in the face of reason, fairness, common sense and cause of justice.
It is a known fact that embattled Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and John Inyang
Okoro of the Supreme Court, who are currently under DSS investigation for
corruption charges, only resorted to the cheap, convenient, everyday reaction
of people caught red-handed committing crimes in order to divert attention from
the grave reality confronting them, especially when faced with sufficient
evidence…”Sunnews
