I do not have an account with a Bank in Minnesota, USA - Amaechi

Below is a press statement from former Rivers state governor, Rotimi
Amaechi denying claims in that he operates an account with an unnamed
bank in Minnesota, USA. The press statement was released by his media
aide, David Iyofor. Read it below...
Our attention has been drawn to fake stories making the rounds
on the Internet and social media about former Rivers State
Governor Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. The stories are all
what they are- concocted and failed attempts to ridicule the
person and achievements of Rt. Hon. Amaechi.  Our initial
reaction was to ignore them, but to clear the doubts of those
concerned we have decided to issue this statement.
There is absolutely no truth in fabricated story saying Amaechi has an
account with a Bank in Minnesota, USA; same as the concocted write-up
alleging that CNN’s Christiane Amanpour accused Amaechi of
corruption. They even went ahead to say Amaechi wrote to Bancorp and
another bank in Switzerland stating that the said funds were deposited in
error. This is absolutely false.
It is important for the public to note that no such account or accounts
exists. There is also no story of Amanpour linking the former governor
with any corruption issue or case whatsoever, not on CNN or any
verified news source or website associated with Amanpour.
These are all lies, concocted in an attempt to put the public against the
acclaimed people’s governor whose achievements as governor of Rivers
State speaks volumes and drew admiration and accolades from within and
outside Nigeria.
All these fictitious stories are the product of the ill imaginations of wicked
and unscrupulous people opposed to Amaechi; those jealous and at
unease with his continued rise in the country and beyond; those whose life
ambition is to pull-Amaechi-down.
We therefore urge the people to discard and disregard the unfounded
rumours. They are all fake.
