Seidu Oshiomhole, member-elect of
the Edo State House of Assembly, has been allegedly caught on tape stating how
the 15 lawmakers-elect opposed to the inauguration of the Edo Assembly are
being sustained in Abuja.
In the tape, Seidu was heard
telling somebody that many Nigerians have come to their rescue in terms of
funding.
Seidu, who is younger brother to
the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, APC, however, said the
audio tape was doctored.
In one of the revelations, Seid,
who spoke in English and pidgin said: “We are becoming stronger now as who is
who in Nigeria are now coming to our aid.
“Na money dey find us now. We no
dey look for money. Na money come dey look for us, we dey even reject money
now.
“Dem dey give members (referring
to the inaugurated assembly members) N5 million and that na official money.
Them no know say GO (referring to Governor Godwin Obaseki) no fit give person
one extra kobo.
“We don get five million, ten
million, twenty thousand dollars, 15 thousand dollars. If na money, na we be
money.”
Reacting to the leaked audio
tape, Seid told journalists in Benin, the Edo state capital, that the recording
was meant to divert attention from the focus of the lawmakers-elect.
He said, “I don’t want to make
comment on it. We have a primary issue we are dealing with.
“I will speak on it after we have
properly resume sitting. They want to divert our attention.”
