A former All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, Tein Jack-Rich, has strongly denied allegations of sexual misconduct levied against his wife, Elizabeth.
In a statement released on behalf of the family by High Chief I.J. Ibiwari on Sunday, Jack-Rich dismissed the allegations as baseless fabrications orchestrated by political elements with the intention of tarnishing his wife’s reputation and their family’s integrity.
He urged the Nigerian public to disregard the claims made against his family and other prominent Nigerians.
“With utmost respect, we appreciate your understanding, and firmly reject these outrageously false accusations sponsored by malicious politicians,” the statement read.
The family further added, “These troublemakers’ sole motive is to advance their own interests, retain public office by any means necessary, and continue to benefit from our hard work, while having no regard for the creators of wealth and employers of labor.”
The family’s letter emphasized the disdain that society has for individuals who have no respect for core family values.
The statement also asserted that those responsible for these attacks were envious of Mrs. Jack-Rich’s remarkable achievements as a young woman.
“This is the height of political desperation exhibited by individuals who are determined to forcefully gain entry into a house they once opposed,” the family claimed.
According to the family, the accusers have resorted to a new method of attack after their previous efforts proved unsuccessful.
The statement continued, “Their current strategy is to attack with the aim of gaining entry. Now, they seek to infiltrate the very house that they once vehemently fought against.”
“Nigerians are keenly observing the outcome of this distressing situation,” the family declared.
The Jack-Rich family described Mrs. Jack-Rich as an audacious and intelligent woman, emphasizing that she is a significant asset to Nigeria.
“She is a nurturing mother figure to numerous families under her care,” the family noted.
“The family stands unwaveringly in support of Mrs. Jack-Rich, regardless of any form of attack or provocation,” the statement concluded.
