Our
attention has been drawn to the allegations leveled against Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation, by Supreme Court
Justice, The Honourable Justice Sylvester Ngwuta. In response we state
that:
1.
The Hon. Justice
Ngwuta’s allegation as it concerns Amaechi is nothing but pure fiction, a
dubious diversionary tale concocted to muddle the very serious issues of his
arrest and investigation by the Department of State Services (DSS).
2.
For emphasis, we
want to state categorically that Amaechi did not and has never tried to lobby,
induce or make the Hon. Justice Ngwuta to influence the outcome of any matter
before the Supreme Court or any other court.
The Hon. Justice Ngwuta’s
narrative as it concerns Amaechi is simply not true, an unadulterated fallacy
design to deceive and distract from the real issues of DSS investigation of
acts of corruption against him.
3.
It’s indeed very
sad and most unfortunate that the Hon. Justice Ngwuta had decided to drag the
name of the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), into his fabricated allegations.
Again, We make bold to state that Amaechi did not and has never lobbied,
approached or attempted to make the CJN or any other Justice of the apex court
to influence the Supreme Court judgment on the Rivers State and Ekiti State Governorship
Elections petition appeals or any other matter before the apex court or any
other court.
4.
Within a space of
48 hours, we have observed a carefully planned and coordinated political
attempt to drag Amaechi into the DSS arrest and investigation of judges in
Nigeria. The aim of the plot is two-fold: to smear and politically destroy the
image and reputation of Amaechi, and deceitfully portray him as the person
behind the arrest of judges. This is indeed most ridiculous and callous.
5.
We are aware of a
well timed, heavily funded plot to “take out” Amaechi politically, and it
appears that Justice Ngwuta and Justice Inyang Okoro (of the Supreme Court, who
had also made similar made-up allegations against Amaechi), have wittingly or
unwittingly been conscripted into this devious politics of “destroy Amaechi by
all means.”
6.
Amaechi is not
and cannot be behind the arrest and investigation of the Hon. Justice Ngwuta.
He should kindly leave Amaechi alone and face the issues he has with the DSS.
7.
Amaechi is
talking with his lawyers and will explore lawful channels to seek redress for this
gross defamation against his character and person.
