A gubernatorial aspirant of the All Progressives Congress APC in the 2025  Anambra State governorship election, Sir Paul Chukwuma has dismissed allegations of money laundry against him to the tune of $374 , 000 contending that he cannot be intimidated by the antics of political opponents who he claims are out to ruin his ambition.


A certain report from an online platform had alleged that an Abuja Federal High Court had ordered the forfeiture of the sum of $378,000,,  a Mercedes Benz May bach to the Federal Governmental belonging to Sir Paul Chukwuma due to the alleged money laundry.


But Chukwuma while speaking to reporters in Anambra state insisted that the sum was legitimately earned by him through his company in a contract with the Federal government insisting that no one can stop him from spending money earned legitimately.


"The money is in the company's account which was legitimately earned and I don't want to believe that Sahara Reporters published that story and all the documents that has to do with the contract are in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission ICPC "


"There is a decide case at the Court in Solomon vs Solomon and the court ruled that there is a difference between the name of the company from the owner of the company and you cannot drag me into the issue because there is a difference between me and my company " 


"This is just an attempt by political opponents to intimidated me from my ambition to serve my state as the governor of Anambra and because they have come to understand that I am the candidate to beat so they come up with all manner of allegations because there is an election this year" 


Continuing Paul Chukwuma said that ;  " The ICPC has everything and I don't believe that it came from the ICPC but if it came from ICPC then we have a problem"


"A project was given to my company for the training and it is an Intellectual Property Right and we had meetings with the Tet Found to deliver to Nigerian students and my local company built the data base and Tet Found would buy the details to deliver to the students "


"The number was two million data but it was later made two million five hundred thousand and it is the duty and responsibility of the institutions to consume it and some did while some did not and it is not the duty of my company to start looking for those institutions that did not " 


"The number was 502 staff to be trained in the six geopolitical zones in the country and over 400 staff took part yet we carried out another training for those that did not show up before which the ICPC is aware of that so it is the hand work of political detractors to run me down but I cannot be cowed by them because I shall win the ticket of my party and ultimately win the main election and nobody can stop , intimidated or cow me because my records are clear and I pay my taxes and have nothing to hide " he said.
