The
ex-governor was said to have told detectives that he handed over the money to
the Secretary of the campaign office, Mrs. Rita Mba, who was also the state’s
Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Government Affairs.
“According to
Chime, the money was brought by two of his former commissioners, Joe Nmamnel
and Mrs Rita Mba, in company with the Chairman of the PDP, Enugu State, Ikeji
Asogwa, and Prof. Osita Ogbu.
“He further
stated that he gave the money to his orderly for safe keep and that only Rita
Mba should have access to it to facilitate her work as secretary of the
campaign secretariat. He denied personally disbursing the fund,” the source
added.
Chime, the
source said, was expected to report on Monday, June 13, 2016, for further
interrogation.
The ex-Enugu
State governor is the second governor in the South-East to be grilled by the
EFCC in connection with the Diezani bribe money.
