Jack-Rich denies offering bribe to be made minister

 

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr Tein Jack-Rich, has dismissed as false, malicious and unfounded, claims that he offered N500 million to be made minister by President Bola Tinubu.The allegations were made in a series of tweets by one Jackson Udeh, who claimed that Jack-Rich offered the money to one Deolu, a younger brother to the Chief of staff to the President, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila.

Udeh also claimed that the wife of the chieftain has amorous relationship with one of the President’s sons.

Jack-Rich however said in a statement by his media team, that there was no iota of truth in the allegations.

He said that he had no need to bribe anyone to be made a minister in a party he has been serving diligently since 2014 when he joined politics, and the platform he aspired to be presidential candidate in 2023.

“The entirety of the allegations are not only unfounded and childish, but also depicts the nature and character of the persons and evil elements behind them.”

Jack-Rich said those behind the allegations “are also well known by their political brigandage and desperation for political relevance”.

He said that he was utterly shocked that apart from their attempt to tarnish his image and reputation, the desperate politicians also condescend so low in attacking the office of the Chief of Staff.

“Thereby trying so hard to smear his own reputation and by extension that of the Presidency.”

The business mogul added that he would not respond to such malicious allegations again, “as it will only make the individuals behind it more popular”.

Jack-Rich alerted the general public that the “wicked” political elements behind the allegations will stop at nothing to implement their plot of tarnishing his unquestionable reputation.

He added that the desperate elements have also perfected plans in the coming days to use concocted videos, voices, pictures and technology enhanced algorithms to score cheap political goals.

Jack-Rich said he has been an ardent and staunch believer  in President Tinubu and share his vision of renewed hope for Nigeria.

He therefore urged all Nigerians to disregard the false publication, and be steadfast and hopeful that the President will deliver on all the stated goals of the new administration.
