The Rivers state government has said the Minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has a case to answer over the alleged sales of Gas Turbine Power stations belonging to the State government.
The commissioner for information in the state, Emma Okah, said in a statement on Monday that Mr Amaechi, who was the governor of the state at the time, sold off the power stations to Sahara Energy, owned by a billionaire businessman from the state, Tonye Cole, towards the end of his administration.
Mr Okah said the then administration allegedly used the proceeds – N112 billion – to fund the political activities of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which Mr Amaechi is its leader in the state.
