Port Harcourt based artiste, Duncan Mighty, may be in for a big trouble following his allegations that his state governor, Rotimi Amaechi, is indebted to him to the tune of N50million. He made this claim recently in an open letter that went viral on the internet.
According to Duncan, the Rivers State governor owed him the said amount for a Celebrity Youth Endorsement Concert he was contracted to do in Port Harcourt, which eventually took place on the 30th of March, 2011. He said he was given 10 million naira through the then secretary to the state government, Senator Magnus Abe and that the governor personally promised to give him a balance of N50m.
The whole situation may have become embarrassing to the state Commissioner for Information, Ibim Semenitari, who disclosed that the allegations are false, noting that nothing of such existed.
The Commissioner challenged the media to investigate the artiste and verify when he was contracted; when it was executed and who contracted him?
"It is unfortunate when some people imagine that they have attained a status that enables them blackmail others, tell blatant lies and get away with it. Without joining issues with Duncan Mighty, I would suggest that you double check on his antecedents and his friendships,” the representative of the Rivers State government said.
