Edison Ehie, a former factional speaker of the Rivers house of assembly, says he was offered money to impeach Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state.
Ehie, who is currently chief of staff to Fubara, was one of the lawmakers loyal to the governor.
He became speaker in October 2023, a period when legislators loyal to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), made an attempt to impeach Fubara.
The impeachment proceedings were halted after President Bola Tinubu brokered a peace deal.
