REVEALED! How Some Senators Received $10k and $5k Each to Influence Rivers State Emergency

According to @saharareporters , 42 senators received $10,000 each on Wednesday night, while 45 senators were given $5,000 each on Tuesday night to influence the approval of the controversial emergency rule in Rivers State.

Sources privy to the matter told SaharaReporters that Akpabio’s guest house, located at No. 22, Yedeseram Street, Maitama, Abuja, was the venue where the money was handed out.

SaharaReporters also learned that Senator Victor Umeh and Senator Neda Imasuen of the Labour Party were among the key figures involved in organising the payout.

“They were the only Labour Party senators present at both events on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and participated in collecting the money,” one of the sources said.

On Wednesday, SaharaReporters exclusively reported that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, had allegedly provided funds to Senate President Godswill Akpabio to rally senators in support of President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.

I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.
