The Jack-Rich family has responded to online publications that made allegations against Elizabeth Jack-Rich, the wife of Tein Jack-Rich, a former presidential aspirant from the All Progressives Congress.
The accusations claimed that Elizabeth had a sexual relationship with Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu.
These publications, excluding NewsClick Nigeria, previously reported that Jack-Rich paid N500 million to secure a ministerial position in Tinubu’s cabinet and allowed his wife to engage in the alleged affairs with Seyi Tinubu.
In a letter signed by High Chief I.J. Ibiwari on Sunday, the Jack-Rich family dismissed the reports as baseless and sponsored fabrications by unscrupulous politicians.
They asserted that the intention behind these false claims was to harm the reputation and future prospects of Mrs. Jack-Rich and her innocent children.
”With honour, we appreciate your understanding, and for detesting the avalanche of the most injuriously preposterous insult melted on the family by political scallywags.
“These individuals, with no employable skills outside political office other than blackmail, have decided to form a coalition of political hostage takers at home and overseas to pursue their 2027 interests.
”This is the climax of political desperation by desperadoes who want to forcefully enter a house they fought against. Their vice style is attack to enter. Now they want to come inside the house by attacking those who are the builders of the house they once fought.
”Nigerians are watching with keenness what will become of this melancholy. Dr. Elizabeth is a well-groomed Yoruba mother who understands matrimony. She is brave, intelligent,beautiful, and an asset anyone cannot object to acquiring. A beautiful mother to many countless families in her care.”
Speaking further in the statement, the family urged the public not to fall for acts of calumny against Elizabeth.
”The public should now be aware that because these interlopers and their cohorts are weaklings with no value to deliver any public economic good; their only means to power is to launch blackmail on critical intellectual assets, including the likes of Dr. Elizabeth.”
The family therefore, expressed its unflinching support for Mrs Jack-Rich in the face of any type of attack or provocation.
”Dear Dr. Elizabeth, your husband, and Nigerians stand with you. In the face of this provocative, baseless, malicious, harmful, and most preposterous allegation with a devilish imprint.”
