Ezekwesili Slams Bribery Claims: ‘No One with Sense Will Believe These Lies

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has firmly stated that no amount of money can persuade her to support a cause she believes in. She made this declaration in response to allegations made by UK-based activist, Sandra Duru, who claimed that Ezekwesili accepted bribes to back the suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

Ezekwesili, known for her outspoken demand for an investigation into the sexual harassment allegations made by Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, responded publicly on X. She said, “I see how my unwavering support for your pursuit of justice has left your adversaries in disarray, resorting to desperate and laughable falsehoods.”

She continued, “No sensible and decent person who knows my incorruptible track record is deceived by the ridiculous fabrications being spread by your detractors. They know, without question, that no amount of money— not even all the wealth in the world—can buy my convictions, my voice, or my stance on any issue I choose to support. So, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, worry not.”

Ezekwesili reaffirmed her commitment to supporting the senator, saying, “Our commitment to justice remains unshaken, and we will continue to fight until justice is achieved.”
