Buhari Could Sack Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi (See Shocking Details)

Unconfirmed reports have it that Buhari is under pressure from the foreign community to relieve Amaechi as Minister of Transport, due to the immense allegations of corruption against him. Also following his indictment for corruption by the Justice George Omeregi-led Rivers State Judicial Commission of Inquiry, set up to investigate the sale of state assets and the consequent Whitepaper issued by the state government.

On a related note, the federal administration was said to be uncomfortable with unpleasant reports about the disposition of the current Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Lawal Babachir and the President’s Chief of Staff, Alhaji Abba Kyari. The President is reportedly disposed to easing them out of office.

The president is said to be under intense pressure to drop allegedly corrupt appointees from his cabinet to successfully prosecute his administration’s anti-graft war.

A Western diplomat who confided in Nigerian Pilot disclosed that “there is now increased and general erosion of confidence in the president’s ability to prosecute his administration’s anti-graft war. He added that, “about five senior diplomats have had reason to pass similar observations to the presidency after the Rivers state government Whitepaper that indicted your minister of Transport, Amaechi over alleged corruption during his years as governor.”

“If I can recall very vividly, they told the president that until people like Amaechi in his government are excused from government to defend the telling allegations against him, the corruption fight will not be taken seriously,” he further said.

The declaration by the diplomats he said was buoyed by a letter written by Governor Nyesom Wike to foreign missions and Embassies detailing findings and related documentary evidences including the government Whitepaper of the Justice George Omeregi commission probe report on the state’s finances during the Amaechi years as governor.

I sometimes wonder if these politicians think we are naive to believe their gimmicks and games. Why can't Amaechi let go of control of Rivers State for Christ’s sake he is a Minister now; there is a lot of work to be done in Nigeria’s Transport sector. Is our Aviation industry 100% functional? If he really has the good interest of Rivers people at heart, he should bring his influence to bear and ensure the Port Harcourt International Airport upgrade is completed immediately.

On the other hand, Gov. Wike should face his job as a state governor, like I said in a previous post, during times of elections in Nigeria I dread being a Nigerian, because elections are now “Do or Die” affairs. Donald Trump of the U.S.A insulted Ted Cruz and the rest of them even with Clinton during elections between the Republican and Democrats but no blood was shed. After an election can't the parties involved accept the outcome.

Do you guys enjoy lives being destroyed at the detriment of 2 people who don't even own their lives. Whatever rift is between the two of you please let it slide, life is too short.
