APC businessman Tein Jack-Rich denies claims of N500 Million bribe for a ministerial slot under President Bola Tinubu as online publications distort facts. An online publisher claimed that Jack-Rich offered N500 million to the Chief of Staff’s brother to become a minister, alleging an affair between his wife and the President’s son to secure a spot on the ministerial list.
In a statement released by his media team, Jack-Rich denied the allegations of bribery to become a minister. He stated that the accusations were baseless and false, highlighting his dedication to the party since 2014 and his previous aspirations for the presidency. He dismissively described the individuals behind the allegations as politically motivated and desperate for relevance. We are shocked that some politicians are stooping so low to tarnish Mr Jack-Rich’s image and reputation, even attacking the Chief of Staff’s office and the Presidency.

Jack-Rich warns the public that political enemies will use deceptive tactics like videos and pictures to tarnish his image, but he refuses to engage. The president urges Nigerians to remain hopeful and steadfast in his promise to deliver on the new administration’s goals. Oil magnate Tein Jack-Rich was a presidential candidate for Nigeria’s ruling party, the APC. He stated that if elected president, he would promise no foreign loans and to create 26,000 jobs in each of Nigeria’s 774 local governments on his first day in office.
