The Enugu West All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate, Mrs Juliet Ibekaku-Nwagwu, has described as `false’ allegations reports that Sen. Ike Ekweremadu gave her N500 million to do away with her senatorial ambition.
“I did not broker or establish any accord at Nwanjoku’s wedding which led to N500 million deal or purported N300 million advance payment to me,” she said in a statement in Enugu on Monday.
According to her, the purported deal and advance payment is a case of desperation by her political detractors who are already frustrated after all efforts to sabotage her ambition failed.
“The concoction is hollow, cheap and laughable. Team Ibekaku is on a divine Mission,” she said. The people of Enugu West have expressed their desire and no detractor can stand against that.
“The sum of N500 million is not worth the determination of my ambition to salvage the 16 years of wasteful and visionless leadership in Enugu West.
“I will work with all Enugu West people to secure the future of our people that have been under bondage for 16 years,” she said.
She said that she was on a mission to bring back the dividends of democracy for the senatorial district, adding that her vision for a better Enugu West had been articulated in her four-point agenda.
