He said he was told by Senator Uche Ekwunife that I demanded to be paid N500 million before I can work for Soludo in the last election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that is not true. I never demanded any money to work for Soludo, instead, I used my funds to work for him, even as his campaign director in the last election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI even met some of my friends who donated money to Soludo because of my influence. So, it was Soludo who made money from me, instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former lawmaker lamented that his opponents were dishing out propaganda against him, just to whittle down his influence, ahead of the forthcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecently too, there was a voice note that circulated on the internet, that I was caught with a married woman and that I paid money to the woman\u2019s husband to avoid being exposed. All these are propaganda, targeted at me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy that despite all these, my supporters have stood firmly behind me. I thank the executive of Victor Umeh Solidarity Network (VUSON). When I was told that some people were mobilizing to support me, I demanded to meet you, but I was told that you didn\u2019t want to meet me yet until you were done mobilizing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is very rare in our clime, where people even ask you to bankroll the organisation. After your inauguration today, I charge you to move into the grassroots and let\u2019s begin to mobilize support.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, (APGA), and Anambra Central Senatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Victor Umeh has reacted to rumours of him demanding N500 million to support Prof Chukwuma Soludo in the last governorship election.
