After a successfully screening by the Nigerian Senate at the National Assembly in Abuja, Nigeria. Former Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi is set to be appointed as a Minister.
I see that the congratulations is in order! [amaechi ministerial screening]
Speaking on corruption, Amaechi said he is a man that doesn’t like corruption and has always stood against it since his days as a Student Union President. He said he finds it difficult to do what people want him to do if it clashes with his standing principle.
He said he is unable to define corruption as it takes various forms and that corruption does not only entail the exchange of money. He said, giving positions to close relatives who do not qualify for a job is also a form of corruption.
He stated that there is no where he has been indicted of being corrupt and that he has never taken bribe before. ‘If they send a girl to you to do something for her and you sleep with the girl, you are corrupt.’ he said
