$25,000 Bribery Scandal: My Story—Emodi

[Shola Sholaz]

FORMER Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Joy Emodi, has reacted to speculations making the rounds on the reasons for her sack.
.
Irked by reports that her sack was not unconnected with the bribe-for-impeachment drama that allegedly rocked the House of Representatives recently, Emodi denied knowledge of anything that has to do with 'money-sharing' in the National Assembly.
.
She stated that she has never been part of any plan to give financial inducement in order to impeach any member of the House.
.
Speaking with Vanguard, yesterday, she also denied having any shouting match with anybody over $25,000 allegedly given to National Assembly members, saying most of the reports published about her were false.
.
"I was surprised to read the report of my alleged involvement in the money-sharing scandal. I was not given any money to share and definitely, the alleged money shared did not pass through my office. I have never brought any money to the National Assembly.
.
If they brought money to the members, they know who brought it but not me. I don't know anything about it. And more over, I don't encourage such things.
