There are very strong indications that Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
working through one Livingstone Wechie, has secured a court order to
stop the Senate from screening former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi
Amaechi as a ministerial nominee.
Wechie through his
organisation, Integrity Group had claimed, that Amaechi corruptly
enriched himself while in office as Governor.
Amaechi had denied every of the allegations, describing it as a witch-hunt.
The
order, reportedly secured from a Rivers State High Court, is expected
to be served on the senate before its sitting, today, Thursday.
A source also hinted that the court papers had already been served on the Senate before the close of work on Wednesday.
Amaechi
was initially one of the ten ministerial nominees scheduled to be
screened on Wednesday but his screening was deferred as a result of the
delay in the report of the Senate’s Ethics and Privileges Committee.
