The Governor also vowed to implement whatever recommendation the judiciary commission of inquiry may recommend without fear or favour.
The Justice George Omereji seven-man commission of inquiry concluded its proceedings over the weekend after several failed attempt to invite Amaechi to clear some inditing allegations.
The commission of inquiry was set up by Governor Wike to probe the sale of the state valued assets by Governor Chibuike Amaechi.
According to the special adviser on media and publicity to the governor, Pounabo Inko-Tariah, the state government is eagerly waiting for the recommendation of the Justice Omereji Commission, which will be implemented without considering friends or foes.
Inko-Tariah denied the cry by Amaechi that the commission was set up to witch-hunt him, instead it was legally constituted to investigate financial transactions like $39.2m paid to a contractor that never executed the Justice Adolphus Karibi Whyte special hospital project, and sale of state owned four gas turbine power stations.
“ The commission was set up to ascertain certain financial transactions under Amaechi. Rivers State funds were involved in these transactions and we assume some of the funds might have been embezzled and that is the reason for the commission.”
