I was offered N5 billion to raise motion to impeach Fubara – Ehie

Published on March 31, 2025 at 11:45 AM

The Chief of Staff to the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Edison Ehie, has alleged that he was offered a N5 billion bribe to support the impeachment of his principal while serving as Majority Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Ehie made the revelation when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television on Sunday, claiming that he has the evidence on his phone.

Speaking further, Ehie said Governor Siminalayi Fubara chose the path of conflict resolution in handling political disputes.

“I can also open my phone to show you, in the beginning of October 2023, they approached me with a bribe of N5 billion. It is here in my phone,

“It was for impeachment. It’s here. I have it and I have printed it and distributed it, in case, in their evil imagination, they decide to attack me. I already have a son and a brother,”; he said.

DAILY POST recalls that on the night of October 29, 2023, an explosion rocked the state Assembly complex.

The explosion brought to light, the deteriorating relationship between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.

On October 30, after the explosion, the Speaker of the House, Martin Amaewhule, and 26 other lawmakers loyal to Wike, suspended Ehie and three lawmakers loyal to Fubara, alleging that they were responsible for the explosion.

Amaewhule and the 26 lawmakers also proceeded to initiate an impeachment process against Governor Fubara, citing abuse of power and gross misconduct.

The process was, however, stalled after supporters of the suspended governor foiled their attempt.
