ALL Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed as fabricated lies stories on the internet linking former governor Chibuike Amaechi with some accounts in foreign banks.

Rivers state Chairman of the party, Mr Davies Ikanya said political opponents were behind the lies, adding that their intention was to rubbish the former governor before President Muhammadu Buhari,.

The Chairman who spoke through his media aide, Chief Chuwemeka Eze also accused some members of his party of working with opponents of the party to destroy the image of the former governor.

He said,“ These stories flooding the Internet and Social Media about former Governor Amaechi are mere fabrications intended to ridicule him and poison the mind of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is expected to make Amaechi a key member of his cabinet. For the avoidance of doubt, Amaechi has no account with a Bank in Minnesota, USA, as alleged by these devious rumour mongers.

It is also not true that CNN’s Christiane Amanpour accused Amaechi of corruption, as being claimed by his detractors. Besides, at no time did Amaechi write to Bancorp or any bank in Switzerland, stating that he deposited any funds in error. These are wicked lies concocted by evil-minded persons desperate to pull down Amaechi but who are bound to fail.

The party expressed regret that some saboteurs within the party have made themselves available for use … in tarnishing Amaechi’s hard-earned reputation just because of pecuniary benefits. “We wish to warn these saboteurs to stop playing Judas or be prepared to face the consequences with their new-found master”
