Senate President Godswill Akpabio has called on former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi to provide evidence supporting his claim that Akpabio introduced a 50 percent deduction from payments to contractors working on projects for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Amaechi made the allegation during a campaign rally in Bauchi State on Saturday.
Akpabio challenged Amaechi to present specific details, including contract documents, payment records, and identifiable transactions. He urged Amaechi to submit any evidence to investigative authorities rather than using it for political confrontation. Akpabio also criticized Amaechi's eight-year tenure in Rivers State, mentioning controversial projects like the Port Harcourt monorail and the Malaria-free Rivers State initiative.
He emphasized the importance of public accountability and credible investigation, particularly ahead of the 2027 general elections.
