According to the SDP House of Assembly
lawmaker, "just few days ago I was
approached by the Speaker of the House Mr.
Monday Igbuya, whose election has been
challenged too, saying that twenty-three
members of the House under his Party, the
PDP, have contributed N5million each,
amounting to N115million to have favorable
judgments against the petitioners
challenging their election.”
aharaReporters has learned of a desperate attempt
by twenty-three PDP politicians in the Delta State
House of Assembly to bribe a panel of three judges
presiding on the House of Assembly election
petition tribunal, currently sitting in the Delta State capital
Asaba.
Confiding in SaharaReporters, two members of the Delta
State House of Assembly, under the platform of the Social
Democratic Party (SDP) and the Labour Party (LP),
disclosed that 23 PDP members in the Delta State House of
Assembly have already contributed a sum of N5million
each with which to compromise the three members panel of
judges and receive a favorable judgment against opposition
petitioners.
According to the SDP House of Assembly lawmaker, "just
few days ago I was approached by the Speaker of the
House Mr. Monday Igbuya, whose election has been
challenged too, saying that twenty-three members of the
House under his Party, the PDP, have contributed N5million
each, amounting to N115million to have favorable
judgments against the petitioners challenging their
election.”
"The Speaker therefore advised me that I bring my own
N5million to join to the N115million already contributed for
the settlement of the judges. Other members of the House
under the PDP approached me to buy into the project in
order for me to get victory at the tribunal. But I told the
Speaker and other members who approached me that since
I am very confident that I won my April 11, 2015 election
fair and square I don't need to bribe anybody to undermine
justice," the SDP lawmaker stated confidently.
A Labour Party lawmaker told SaharaReporters of a similar
instance with Mr. Monday Igbuya describing how he
“approached [LP lawmaker] to bring N5million been
contributions to settle the panel of judges at the House of
Assembly tribunal to get justice. When the pressure was
becoming unbearable for me, I asked the Speaker how he
will go about it, and he told me in confidence that 23 PDP
members of the House already raised about N115m, and
will be rooted through Mrs. Pat Ajudua, a member of the
House, representing Oshimili North constituency, said to be
a very close associate of one of the tribunal judges.”
He added “Monday Igbuya confided in me that he will not
leave anything to chance, that he is very desperate to save
his seat. He is worried he could lose his seat, which is why
he decided to engage the services Mrs. Pat Ajudua, the wife
of Nigeria famous fraudster Fred Ajudua, to compromise
the tribunal judges.”
SaharaReporters has gathered from conversations with
lawmakers in the State that Mr. Igbuya has a very bad case
against him in the election tribunal and could lose his seat.
Meanwhile, investigations by SaharaReporters revealed that
the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State has
already hinted of a plot to compromise the panel members.
Several calls and messages to the Mr. Igbuya and Mrs.
Ajudua for comment were not returned at the time of filing
this report. However an aide to Mr. Igbuya admitted
"though, my Oga’s case at the tribunal is very bad and no
longer a secret he would not bribe anybody to get justice."
