bloomshorts Judith Amaechi Refutes NDDC Allegations
Judith Amaechi, the wife of former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi, has vehemently denied claims by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike that she received ₦4bn monthly from the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for women empowerment. She described the allegations as baseless and a political smear campaign.
Call for Transparency
In a bold move, Judith challenged Wike to publicly present the forensic audit report from the NDDC that allegedly indicts her, threatening legal action if the claims are not substantiated. She emphasized the collaborative nature of her initiative’s work with the NDDC, aimed at empowering Niger Delta women and youths.
Political Rivalry Intensifies
The dispute highlights the ongoing political feud between Nyesom Wike and Rotimi Amaechi, both former governors of Rivers State. The allegations have further strained their relationship, with Judith Amaechi accusing Wike of using the claims to achieve political gains.
