The Senator representing Anambra Central in the National Assembly, Victor Umeh, has fired back at allegations that he received a $10,000 bribe to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s State of Emergency declaration in Rivers State.

A report alleged that 42 senators were allegedly paid to back the decision to suspend Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

However, in a statement on Friday, Umeh dismissed the accusations as baseless blackmail, insisting that he was not part of any deal.

“I did not receive any money to support the state of emergency in Rivers State. I was not at any meeting where such payments were allegedly made,” Umeh declared.

The senator revealed that he was at an Iftar gathering at the Senate Guest House, where he led Christian prayers. He emphasised that no discussions about the state of emergency took place at the event.

“We prayed for peace in Nigeria and reconciliation in Rivers State. There was no talk of emergency rule,” he clarified.

Dismissing the allegations as a deliberate attempt to tarnish his reputation, Umeh assured his constituents that he remains committed to honest and accountable leadership.

“I will not be distracted by false reports. My focus remains on serving my people with dignity and integrity,” he vowed.

Hmmm. Maybe you didn't, But other senators might have collected... Even if you did, you wouldn't admit it, would you?? . Akpabio will send "prayers" to your various mails.

Nigerians don't expect you to admit. We know you guys

Who collects free10000 dollars and comes out to admit that he did?

Nigerian senators are lying machines; they lied and covered Akpabio their oga so às not to get exposed in the sexual allegations levelled against him by Natasha Akpoti

We don't expect them not to deny it we are getting close to REVOLUTION.

If they deny it, it's most probably true

Lier Mohammed. I don't believe him

You for gree. Even that Uncle whia been blow whistle for National Assembly members salary that year no go giri talk this one o

The rumor is been projected by the frustrated and fair politicians and their followers. The distinguished senators should ignore them.

$10k is too small for a senator to accept as bribe. Even me as a prophet would reject that kind of money, you'll have to add something on top before I'll accept it.

So I believe him.

Prayers to Email!

All these accusations maybe real. You can not just come out with baseless accusations, just like El-rufai said that those Ministers paid for them to get those appointments but many said it's not true.
Funny enough there pple kwns what they are talking about but playing on Nigerians intelligence, only the real politicians kwns.
Remember "there's no smoke without fire." "In early lie, there's an atom of Truth"

Ipobidients and their lies.

It's an insult. You don't know how rich ur senators are. My friend's landlady in Abuja is a side chic to a senator. That house was bought for her by the senator in life camp, Abuja. These guys are that big.

Did e vote in support of the SOE?

This is the crust and not all those Grammer e dey speak5

I heard one federal minister was the one behind the distribution of dollar to suspend Rivers State governor

My friend, a staff of national assembly, said all senator collected bribe

Asonaijaaso:
I told my friend, we now have the poorest most money hungry politicians.

They spent a lot of money to get into office.

The day Tinubu devalued the Naira, they are all running at a loss

Even if they collect all the bribes in the world, some of them will never recover money spent to get elected.

So these guys are super hungry, They want to live lavish like "senators" do

So any bribe is willing accepted, they are actually soliciting for the bribes.........Not a single senator has come out openly to oppose the kangaroo state of emergency in Rivers state.

Not a single Senator.

Some walked out and weren't in support.
