He, however, did not disclose
the identities of those who offered him money.
Addressing a rally in Ahoada
East area of the state, the former factional speaker of the State House of
Assembly disclosed the purported plot to impeach the governor, eliciting applause
from the gathered crowd.
“They invited me, your son, to
impeach the governor and I told them clearly, I was not interested.
“They gave me all the money
that was hidden before, which I rejected. And because I refused, they conspired
and declared me wanted,” Ehie said in a viral video clip from the rally.
Last year, Ehie was declared
wanted by the police in connection with the invasion of the State House of
Assembly.
In October 2023, an explosion
rattled the state assembly building amidst reports of lawmakers attempting to
impeach Fubara.
It was alleged that certain
individuals with close ties to the governor were implicated in the incident.
The Martin Amaewhule-led
lawmakers had reportedly lodged criminal complaints against Ehie with the
Rivers State Police Command regarding the invasion and arson of the Rivers
State House of Assembly chambers by unidentified hoodlums.
Ehie’s revelation contributes
to the protracted crisis in the state, stemming from the conflict between
Fubara and his predecessor and current Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, Nyesom Wike.
