Anyanwu said the clarification became imperative following reports linking her with the collection and distribution of N700 million allegedly given to Imo State PDP.
In a statement issued by her Media Assistant, Everest Ezihe, the senator claimed she was neither a party official nor the presidential campaign coordinator for Imo State and, therefore, was in no position to collect or distribute funds on behalf of the party
The statement said the senator visited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) office in Enugu and was allowed to go after questioning.
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.
