Allegation Of $10m Entirely False - Bill Gates
Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) had accused Billionaire philantropists Bill and Melinda Gates of bribing the leadership of Nigeria's House of Representatives with the sum of $10m to pass the Quarantine Act (Repeal and Enactment) Bill 2020 otherwise known as NCDC bill, which among others, will make covid-19 vaccination compulsory.
Director, Nigeria Country Office, BMGF, Paulin Basinga, has responded to such allegation as “entirely false”.
Basinga wrote, “The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has recently been made aware of an allegation circulating in certain elements of the Nigerian media that the Foundation was involved in a payment purportedly made to the Nigeria House of Representatives. Any such allegations are entirely false and without merit.
“To be clear, the Foundation has not offered any financial incentives to any member of Nigeria’s legislative branch for the passage of legislation nor has it offered any grants to organisations in Nigeria in connection with the same.
“The Foundation adheres to strict ethical and legal guidelines across all areas of its operations. What drives the Foundation’s work is the simple and compelling belief that all lives have equal value, and that everyone deserves to lead a healthy productive life...."
The house of Representatives has launched a probe into the allegation. It is now the onus of CUPP and its coordinator, Ikenga, to provide evidence for their allegation.
