The Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has denied media reports that he spent about N3.5bn in last Saturday’s election to procure majority seats for his party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in state’s House of Assembly.
The Chairman Board of Trustees of a rights group, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law( Intersociety), Mr Emeka Umeagbalasi had prior to the Saturday poll accused Soludo of using the state’s fund of up to N3.5bn to influence voters in the state, which he( Umeagbalasi) said was shared to various stakeholders in the state for disbursement, accordingly.
Reacting to the development on Monday, the press secretary to the governor, Chris Aburime, described the allegation as satanic, baseless, despicable and illogical.
