Following the allegations, he said the House committee resolved to investigate the allegations of corruption and breach of process levelled against Amaechi.

He said it was important that Nigerians know about the things being done behind the scenes.

Amaechi, who is also President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election campaign director, was just last week booed at a town hall meeting/presidential debate in Abuja, by the audience at the event when he made efforts to reel out the achievements of the current government.
