Speaking in Abuja on Friday, Wike appealed to President Bola Tinubu to release the forensic audit report on the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), which allegedly contains details how Amaechi’s wife benefited from the agency.
FCT Minister asserted that the report was halted to shield those who might be implicated in fraud. Under former President Muhammadu Buhari, the federal government conducted an audit of the commission’s financial activities and project execution from 2001 to August 2019 to uncover mismanagement and misappropriation of public funds.
The FCT minister alleged that the audit report was buried by Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice.
“First of all, Amaechi’s wife was not an industrialist at the time, the best I know,” Wike said.,
“And that’s why I’ve called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to release the forensic audit of the NDDC,
“Through Amaechi’s wife’s company, N4 billion was being received every month to train Niger Delta women. That’s N48 billion a year. The forensic report is there.
“Who killed it? It was Malami, former AGF, who killed that document to protect those concerned. One of the people who is talking about the coalition.,
“Mr President should help Nigerians. This is what I’ve always said: Please, release the forensic audit of the NDDC.
“N4 billion a month to train Niger Delta women! I have said, ‘Let Mr. President, please, do us a favour and release that document.’,
“Just release the document. That’s how his wife became an industrialist, N4 billion every month to train Niger Delta women.”
Speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, on Thursday, Amaechi described Judith, his wife, as an industrialist and questioned Wike’s political relevance in Nigeria.
