President General of Ndigbo
umbrella body Chief Nnia Nwodo has reacted to news circulating in social media
that he was involved in a ghastly motor accident and fractured his arm.
A statement he personally signed
on Tuesday, said those behind the rumour went ahead to post the picture of the
purported vehicle that crashed.
“As a result of this wicked act,
my mobile phones have been inundated with calls from concerned persons wanting
to sympathize with me”, he said.
Nwodo said that the accident
scene couldn’t have involved him since he did not travel.
“I am yet to make out what the
intention of the person or group circulating the news are; they wish wish me
dead when they are not the owner of my life.”
The Ohanaeze leader while urging
the public to discountenance the news, thanked all the concerned persons
including governors and traditional rulers who reached him to confirm the news.
“I am hail and hearty enjoying
the mercy and grace of my creator”, he added.
“Social media has a lot of
positives, which the people should highlight rather than always going for the
negative. Every freedom has a responsibility attached to it.”
Nwodo further appealed to media
practitioners to be careful and be professional in carrying out their
responsibilities and eschew all forms of character assassination.
