Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to make public the forensic audit report of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), which he claims implicates former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
Wike boldly pledged to step down from his position if the report is released and does not contain evidence against Amaechi.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, monitored in Abuja on Friday, Wike was reacting to Amaechi’s accusations of corruption against him.

He alleged that Amaechi’s wife received N4 billion monthly from the NDDC under the pretense of training women in the Niger Delta.
Wike also took a swipe at his rival, claiming that unlike Amaechi, he comes from a well-off background, which explains his refined lifestyle.
Wike said, “First of all, Amaechi’s wife was not an industrialist. She has never been, and that is why I call on Mr President to release the forensic audit of NDDC.
“Amaechi’s wife company, every month, got N4 billion to train Niger Delta women. That is N48 billion in one year alone, and the forensic audit report is there. Who killed it? It was Malami, then the Attorney General. That is one of the people who is now talking. Mr President should help Nigerians. You see, this is what I have always said. Mr President should help Nigerians. Please, release the forensic audit of the NDDC.
“I have said, let Mr President please do us a favour to release that document. Former Attorney General, Malami, killed that document to protect those who were concerned. I am not just saying what I am saying, let them release the document. If what I am saying is not in the document, I will resign at the Minister of the FCT. I said I will resign. I don’t worship office. What I am saying, let them release the forensic audit of the NDDC. I didn’t say the forensic audit was right, but I said, release the report of the forensic audit. That is how the wife became an industrialist – N4 billion every month to train Niger Delta women”, he stated.
