I supported Akpabio to become senate president because he gave me N200 million in 2014 for election—Wike
Former Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has disclosed why he supported Senator Godswill Akapbio to emerge as the Senate President of the 10th National Assembly.
Wike said Akpabio donated N200 million to his campaign in 2014 and 2015, stressing that one good turn deserves another.
Speaking during his special thanksgiving service organized by his family at the St. Peters Deanery, Rumuepirikom, Obio-Akpor area of the state, on Sunday.
He said Akpabio defied criticisms to back his governorship ambition in 2015.
According to Wike: “When I was running in 2014 and 2015 he came out and supported me. He gave me N200m for that election. That is why I said one good turn deserves another. I supported him this time and I thank God he won”.
Nigerians are wondering how a single individual can gift somebody N200 million to prosecute election. Their question is how did such person get the money and what were the strings attached to such collosal and homogonous amount of money.
