Senate President Godswill Akpabio has challenged Rotimi Amaechi, former Rivers State Governor, to provide documentary evidence to support his claim that Akpabio introduced a 50% deduction from payments to contractors working on projects for the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Akpabio stated that Amaechi has yet to provide contract documents, payment records, or details of identifiable transactions to substantiate his allegation.
Amaechi made the claim during a rally in Bauchi State, criticizing Akpabio's statements against him in Port Harcourt. Akpabio demanded that Amaechi identify the affected contractors, contracts, the dates of the alleged deductions, and the payment arrangements. He also urged Amaechi to submit any evidence to appropriate investigative authorities instead of using it for political confrontation.
