I Once Rejected A N10billion Bribe During My Time As Governor – Amaechi

amaechi

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi is claiming to have once rejected a one billion naira bribe while he was governor of Rivers State.

Amaechi made the claim while speaking at an event in Lagos. He said,“My first confrontation with bribe was with a big contractor in Rivers State. After awarding the contract, he brought a billion naira. I screamed.

“I asked, where did you get the money? and he said from what he got (from the contract) and I said ‘look, that means you over quoted the contract’.

”I said the only reason you are giving me N1 billion was because if the contract was N32 billion, you made it N37 billion. I have been special assistant to the governor for two years; speaker, eight years; governor, eight years, minister nearly two years, that’s nearly twenty years.

”So I know Nigerian politics well. Very, very well.”
