Governor Nyesom Wike has insisted that the slush cash found at an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos state, belonged to the Rivers state government.
According to him, his administration has already begun the process of recovering the funds and claims of ownership by the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) are “the antics of the Federal Government.”
“We will follow due process of the law to get back Rivers State money found at the Ikoyi residence,” he said.
“This money belongs to the Rivers State people. We have conducted out checks.
“We will stun Nigeria with this matter. We will come out with our evidence at the appropriate time”.
The governor said the state government would not reveal its strategy to recover the funds because of the games being played by the APC Federal Government.
He said “the politicization of the entire issue of the Rivers State fund discovered at the Ikoyi residence, indicate that the Federal Government has a something to hide.”
