Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff (CoS) to suspended Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has alleged that he was offered N5billion to arrange the impeachment of his principal.
He made the claim while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
Ehie, who said the offer was made while he was serving as the majority leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, added that he has evidence of the bribe offer stored on his phone.
“I can also open my phone to show you, in the beginning of October 2023, when they approached me with a bribe of N5 billion. It is here in my phone.
The Chief of Staff also dismissed claims that he orchestrated the October 30, 2023, bombing of the Rivers Assembly complex on Fubara’s orders.
“It is very important to clarify that I had no hand and was not part of the burning down of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
“Like everyone else, I woke up in the early hours of 30th of October 2023 to hear of the burning down of the Rivers State House of Assembly,” he said.
