Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who are working through one Livingstone Wechie, has reportedly secured a court order to stop the Senate from screening former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi as a ministerial nominee.
According to a claim by an Integrity Group owned by Wechie, Amaechi corruptly enriched himself while in office as Governor.
The order, reportedly secured from a Rivers State High Court, is expected to be served on the senate before its sitting, today, Thursday.
A source hinted that the court papers had already been served on the Senate before the close of work on Wednesday.
Amaechi had denied every of the allegations, describing it as a witch-hunt. He was initially one of the ten ministerial nominees scheduled to be screened on Wednesday but his screening was deferred as a result of the delay in the report of the Senate’s Ethics and Privileges Committee.
