I was offered money to remove Fubara, but we will teach them that… – Ehie, Rivers Chief of Staff

Edison Ehie, Chief of Staff of the Rivers State Government, claims he was offered money to remove his director, Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The former factional speaker of the state Assembly revealed the alleged plot to impeach the governor during a rally in Ahoada East region of the state at the weekend.

Without revealing the identity of those who offered him money, you said: “They invited me, your son, to impeach the governor and I made it clear to them that I was not interested.

“They gave me all the money that was hidden before, which I refused. And because I refused, they conspired and declared me wanted.

He, however, promised that Fubara would teach his opponents a political lesson, even as he blamed the state’s crisis on the struggle for control of resources.

“We are going to give them a lesson in political calculation. What this little boy (Fubara) will do to you, you will know that khaki is not leather.

“The problem we have in the state is that 11 people have declared that they will control the resources of Rivers State. These 11 people are now calling on 20 others to allocate resources.
