According to Global Village Extra, a US-based online newspaper, Governor Rotimi Amaechi's representatives have responded to rumours that he owns accounts in the United states and Switzerland. In their words they wrote,
“Our attention has been drawn to fake stories making the rounds on the
Internet and social media about former Rivers State Governor Rt. Hon.
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
“The stories are all what they are concocted and failed attempts
to ridicule the person and achievements of Rt. Hon. Amaechi. Our initial
reaction was to ignore them, but to clear the doubts of those concerned
we have decided to issue this statement. Read more
“There is absolutely no truth in fabricated story saying Amaechi
has an account with a Bank in Minnesota, USA; same as the concocted
write-up alleging that CNN’s Christiane Amanpour accused Amaechi of
corruption. They even went ahead to say Amaechi wrote to Bancorp and
another bank in Switzerland stating that the said funds were deposited in error. This is absolutely false... It is important for the public to note that no such account or
accounts exists. There is also no story of Amanpour linking the former
governor with any corruption issue or case whatsoever, not on CNN or any
verified news source or website associated with Amanpour... These are all lies, concocted in an attempt to put the public
against the acclaimed people’s governor whose achievements as governor
of Rivers State speaks volumes and drew admiration and accolades from
within and outside Nigeria.
“All these fictitious stories are the product of the ill
imaginations of wicked and unscrupulous people opposed to Amaechi; those
jealous and at unease with his continued rise in the country and
beyond; those whose life ambition is to pull-Amaechi-down.
“We therefore urge the people to discard and disregard the unfounded rumours. They are all fake.”
