RIVERS’ SCANDAL – WILL AMAECHI GO TO JAIL?



The Integrity Group, an anti-corruption, non-governmental organization based in
Port Harcourt, filed a petition against the former governor of the oil rich
Rivers State, Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. Amaechi headed the Buhari Campaign
Organization – the major group that ran General Mohammed Buhari Presidential

called NG Power-HPS Limited for $302,400,000.00 (N60,000,000,000) at an
exchange rate of N1 to N200.Read more
