According to Wike, the transactions were carried out through a company allegedly linked to Amaechi’s wife.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to release the forensic audit report of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to the public.
Speaking during Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Friday, Wike alleged that former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, siphoned approximately N4 billion monthly from the NDDC during his tenure for the training of Rivers women.
According to Wike, the transactions were carried out through a company allegedly linked to Amaechi’s wife.
Wike made the remarks in response to Amaechi’s recent statement describing his wife as a successful businesswoman and “almost an industrialist.”
The FCT Minister further accused the former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, of deliberately concealing the forensic audit report in order to shield Amaechi and others allegedly involved in financial mismanagement.
