Defamation: Amaechi sues PDP for N300bn
Immediate past governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has dragged the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, its chairman in Rivers State, Felix Obuah, and two others, before an Abuja High Court, over false allegations of ownership of foreign accounts and funds embezzlement against him.
He is seeking N300, 000, 000, 000.00 for general damages done to him over defamation of his character, reputation and person by the plaintiffs.
It will be recalled that in a press statement, the PDP in Rivers State, on August 6 and August 21, 2015, alleged that Amaechi stole $757 million or N80 billion of Rivers State public funds and stashed same away in an account in his name in Bancorp Bank in Minnesota, United States of America.
The PDP also alleged that Amaechi had embezzled millions of dollars of Rivers State money and stashed same in other foreign accounts in his name, including a bank in Switzerland.
As Pope Francis visits the US
IT is an unwritten expectation that whoever becomes pope includes the U.S. in his foreign trips early in his papacy. Pope Francis, the Argentine native, will uphold that tradition when he lands in the U.S. today. While here, he will address the United Nations General Assembly and a joint session of the United States Congress, and make other visits to Catholic schools in New York and attend public functions in Philadelphia.
Pope Francis is popular among Catholics worldwide. Unlike a number of previous popes, he does not flaunt the trappings of his exalted position. Oftentimes, he casts aside his scripted speeches and talks to his audiences from his heart. Being an outsider before he was elevated to the papacy, Pope Francis often ignores long-standing protocols that shield him from the faithful and interacts with his flock. It is obvious that he is set to modernize the church, without necessarily doing away with the core beliefs of his apostolic mission.
Pope Francis AFP PHOTO
But, as the pope visits the U.S. he will be confronted with a great deal of issues, some of which might just be unanticipated; others, long standing issues that have been crippling the Catholic Church in America. No one needs to tell the pope that among Americans, Catholicism is gradually becoming a fading religion. A Pew Centre research published this year shows that the percentage of adults (18 and older) who say they are Christians declined from 78.4 percent in 2007 to 70.6 percent in 2014. Among them are Catholics. Indeed, another Pew research shows that up to 22 per cent of Catholics in the U.S. are immigrants, especially from Latin American.
