The Jack-Rich family has reacted to online publications accusing Elizabeth Jack-Rich, wife of a former presidential aspirant under the All Progressives Congress, Tein Jack-Rich, of having sexual relationship with Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Tinubu.
The PUNCH had earlier reported how some media publications, excluding The PUNCH, accused Jack-Rich of paying N500m to lobby for a ministerial position in Tinubu’s cabinet while also allowing his wife to engage in sexual affairs with Seyi Tinubu in that regard.
In a letter signed by High Chief I.J. Ibiwari, which was made available to our correspondent on Sunday, the family said the reports were nothing but a fabricated sponsored piece by political scallywags, aimed at injuring the future 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.”
