Senator Chris Anyanwu has denied receiving and disburse N700 million to Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members Imo State to prosecute the 2015 presidential election.

In a statement issued by her Media Assistant, Everest Ezihe, the senator claimed she never functioned in a position that warrants her collecting and disbursing such money.

Anyanwu in the statement entitled, “Press statement from Senator Chris Anyanwu on alleged collection of N700 million cash for 2015 election,” said she knew nothing about the allegations.

She said, “This statement clarifies the position of Senator Chris Anyanwu following a series of enquiries by journalists, friends and well wishers, nationally and internationally, regarding newspaper stories today linking her name with collection or distribution of N700million allegedly given to Imo State PDP to prosecute the 2015 presidential election in the state.

“For the record, Senator Anyanwu was neither a party official nor the presidential campaign coordinator for Imo State and therefore was in no position to collect or distribute funds for and on behalf of the party or indeed the candidate.

“Consequently, let it be stated without ambiguity that Senator Chris Anyanwu did not witness the collection of any money belonging to the PDP for the purpose of prosecuting the 2015 presidential elections in Imo State and therefore could not have been involved in its distribution in any form, directly or indirectly.”
