Rivers State Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi yesterday denied claims made by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the state finances have dwindled because he is using money from the state coffers to fund the campaigns of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Amaechi, who spoke at the campaign rally of the APC governorship candidate in the state held in Port Harcourt said:
"I don't fund the APC. Rivers State Government has no money to fund the APC. They have been accusing me of using Rivers money to fund the APC. The APC is a big party, so it can fund its activities. I do not fund the APC with Rivers money. I challenge all those who have been accusing me of funding the APC to show just one account through which I fund the APC with monies belonging to Rivers State."‎
