“I can also open my phone to show you. In the beginning of October 2023, they approached me with a bribe of N5 billion. It is here in my phone,” Ehie stated.
“It was for impeachment. It’s here. I have it, and I have printed it and distributed it, in case, in their evil imagination, they decide to attack me. I already have a son and a brother,” he added.
Ehie disclosed that the alleged bribe attempt occurred while he was serving as the Majority Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The political crisis in Rivers State, which culminated in the declaration of a state of emergency on March 18, stems from the ongoing power struggle between FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
