The Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi has been asked to step aside by the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), following the probe of the clause in the loan agreement with the Chinese government.
Secretary General of the group, Willy Ezugwu who made this known in a statement commended the House of Representatives for the probe.
“For us, for Mr. Rotimi Amaechi to urge the House Committee not to investigate the terms of the loans being received by the federal government because he believed that the probe will jeopardize the chances of the country getting further loans is nothing but a cover up attempt that must be strongly resisted,” he said.
“We are aware that the Minister is expected to appear again before the House of Representatives on 17th August, 2020, over the ongoing investigation into the commercial loan agreement signed between Nigeria and Export-Import Bank of China to the tune of $5.3 billion,” he asserted.
