A presidential aspirant on the platform of the All-Progressives Congress (APC), Tein Jack-Rich, has described as malicious and unwarranted, a report that he offered N500m in order to get an appointment as a minister in the President Bola Tinubu administration.
Reacting to the allegations in a statement by his media team, Jack-Rich said there was no iota of truth in the report.
The politician said he does not need to bribe his way to be made a minister in a party which he had served diligently since 2014.
“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.
“The people are also well-known by their political brigandage and desperation for political relevance. We will never respond to the malicious allegations again as it will only make the individuals behind it more popular,” he stated.
Jack-Rich alerted the general public that the wicked political elements behind the allegations would stop at nothing to implement their plot of misinforming the general public against him and had perfected plans in the coming days to use concocted videos, voices, pictures and technology enhanced algorithm to score cheap political goals.
He however, described himself as an ardent and staunch believer in President Bola Tinubu and his shared vision of renewed hope for Nigeria and as such, urged all Nigerians to be steadfast and hopeful in the promise that he would deliver on all the stated goals of the new administration.
