I was blackmailed into supporting Nsima, Presidency threatened to topple by investments, says Udoedehe

Revelations have emerged on why Senator Udoedehe decided to back Nsima Ekere for the governorship seat of the state in 2019.

Udoedehe had on Saturday in his residence told his supporters of his decision to support NDDC boss, Obong Nsima Ekere against Mr. Udom Emmanuel in next year's governorship election.

Our reporter gathered from competent sources that apart from the former Minister of FCT (State) being given huge cash, it was learnt that he was equally blackmailed into supporting the governorship ambition of Nsima Ekere with series of threat.

It was also learnt that Udoedehe's oil well was to be seized except he makes public declaration that he is fully behind Nsima Ekere.

Udoedehe is said to have also been promised a ministerial appointment if he backs Ekere and all APC candidates in the upcoming elections including President Muhammadu Buhari.
