The Director, Media and Publicity, Sylva-Igiri Campaign Organisation, Chief Nathan Egba, has denied claims that Miebi Bribena is an aide of ex-Governor Timipre Sylva.

Reports say Bribena allegedly disappeared with an undisclosed amount of money paid to him, to execute a contract by the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

Speaking on the issue, Egba said “If the arrest is true, it means that Buhari is a President who does not shield anybody from corruption irrespective of whether you an APC member or not. However, I have not been fully briefed on the matter.”
