Fani-Kayode goes for Amaechi’s neck after Justice Okoro’s allegations

Fani-Kayode, an apologist of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claimed that if the allegations had been made against a member of the opposition party, he or she would be cooling their heels in jail by now.

If it was a member of the PDP that was accused of attempted bribery by Justice Okoro and not Ameachi, he would be in EFCC custody now.

Recall that Justice John Inyang Okoro had claimed that former Rivers state governor Amaechi had tried to get him (Okoro) to give a favourable judgement to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Umana after he lost in the governorship elections in Akwa Ibom.

Amaechi has however denied the allegations. In a concise press statement issued earlier, he said that the accusations are a figment of the judge’s imagination.

The statement reads: “This accusation from Justice Okoro against Amaechi is a figment of his imagination, concocted to obfuscate and politicize the real issues for his arrest and DSS investigation of allegations of corruption against him.”

“The claims by Justice Okoro against Amaechi are blatant lies, bereft of any iota of truth or even logic. Amaechi did not, and has never approached Justice Okoro in respect of the cases Okoro mentioned or any other case. This is a cheap attempt, albeit, political move to drag the name of Amaechi into something he knows nothing about. Justice Okoro should face his issues and leave Amaechi out of it.
