Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has said that the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi was behind the current travails of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onoghen.
Addressing thousands of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, supporters during the PDP State Campaign Rally at Eleme, on Thursday, Wike said that the Minister of Transportation made the confession at a meeting with an All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain in Abuja.
He said: “At that meeting in Abuja last Monday, he confessed that he was the person behind the illegal crisis facing the CJN. He bragged that he will destroy the CJN the way he brought former President Goodluck Jonathan down.
The governor said, “He wants to destroy the nation’s judiciary. This particular evil will finally consume Amaechi.”
The governor wondered why Amaechi would say that PDP was a party of thieves when he was Speaker for eight years under the PDP and eight years as governor under the PDP.
