Ireti Kingibe, the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, has dismissed reports that she was dragged to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over an alleged N100 million kickback linked to a “fake contract,” describing the story as false
In a statement shared on her social media handles on Tuesday, Kingibe said she has never been invited, queried, or contacted by the ICPC over any such allegation, insisting there is no record of communication between her and the anti-corruption agency on the matter.
She also rejected claims linking her to contract awards, explaining that as a senator she does not handle the execution or allocation of contracts, including constituency projects. According to her, such projects are implemented by relevant Ministries, Departments, and Agencies in line with established government procedures.
Kingibe argued that attempts to associate her with contract awards reflect either a misunderstanding of governance processes or a deliberate effort to spread misinformation.
She further questioned the timing of the publication, noting that it surfaced shortly after her appearance on ARISE Television, where she said she spoke critically about national issues and held the government accountable.
“This pattern is not lost on discerning observers. It is becoming increasingly evident that those who choose to speak truth to power must now contend not only with resistance but also with calculated attempts at intimidation and character assassination,” she said.
Kingibe maintained that she would not be silenced, stressing her commitment to transparency, accountability, and responsible governance.
“I remain resolute in my commitment to transparency, accountability, and responsible governance. If this is the consequence of refusing to align with the excesses of government, then so be it,” she added, noting that she expects further attacks but remains undeterred.
