The Chief of Staff to Siminalayi Fubara, the embattled Governor of Rivers State, Edison Ehie, has alleged he was approached with a bribe of N5 billion in 2023.
According to him, this attempt was made to facilitate the impeachment of his boss.
During an appearance on ‘Sunday Politics’ on Channels Television, Ehie claimed that he was offered a bribe in return for his involvement in the ousting of Fubara from his position.

Ehie, the former factional speaker of the Rivers Assembly until January 2024, maintained that he has solid proof of a bribery attempt, revealing that the information is saved on his phone.
Ehie said, “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.
“It was for impeachment. It’s here. I have it and I have printed it and distributed it, incase in their evil imagination, they decide to attack me. I already have a son and a brother.”
