Amaechi Alleges Plot To Frame Him

Rotimi Amaechi has alleged a plot to shame him through carefully scripted schemes that will soil his image in the eyes of well-meaning members of the public.

Amaechi who did not name the quarter the plot was coming from said that a member of his immediate family was also being framed with the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC being one of the government parastatals he cited as one agency his traducers were working at to destroy him.

Amaechi, the immediate past minister of transportation and governor of Rivers State was also the director-general of the Muhammadu Buhari Campaign in 2015 and 2019.

The scheme if true may be part of the jostling by political rivals of the former governor for reckoning in the next dispensation.

Earlier this week, the chief of staff to the president, Abba Kyari was also the source of similar controversy with his supporters and traducers openly playing out their acts in the federal capital.

Responding to the alleged plot against him, Amaechi in a statement issued by his media office said:

“We are aware that attempts are being made to peddle all sorts of fictitious, misleading and outrightly concocted stories, distorted and manipulated documents that would smudge the image and cast aspersions on the character, integrity and high morals of Amaechi, an astute and accomplished public servant.

“The deceitful plot and plan of the planners and executors of this ominously funded campaign is to tarnish the towering status; and do as much damage as possible to the character and reputation of Amaechi in the hearts, minds and eyes of members of the public, using both traditional and online (social) media. 

“One aspect of the reprehensible conspiracy is to unscrupulously drag the name of Amaechi and a member of his immediate family into the internal affairs and operations of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) in a manner and way that is designed and intended to bring disrepute and opprobrium to his character and reputation. Besides this, there are other aspects and dimensions to the plot to rubbish Amaechi’s image.

“In respect to the NDDC, the defamation campaigners intend to create, make and push to the public space all sorts of speculative and baseless allegations against Amaechi; from the ridiculous, to the puerile and completely bizarre stories backed with distorted, phony and fake documents.  For clarity, we state emphatically, that Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is not involved in anyway, in the management and operations of the NDDC.

“We wish to alert members of the public of the hawking presence and devious plots of these ‘operation destroy’ Amaechi campaigners. 

“Specifically, we want to notify and appeal to both traditional media and online (social) media practitioners to be wary of the insidious shenanigans of these purveyors and hawkers of fake news that is solely intended to deceive the public and destroy the sterling record of many years of meritorious public service by Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.”
