Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo has
debunked reports claiming he rejected the outcome of Edo election, won by
Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Uzodinma said he never made such
a statement and blamed the fake news industry.
He also denied spending N3billion
or $5million of Imo state money in Edo.
The governor’s chief press
secretary, Oguwike Nwachuku said the fake reports were manufactured by one Stan
Walden Newyork, “obviously a fake name”.
“If the authors of the fake
reports still have some brain in their head, something would have told them
that since Governor Uzodimma is neither from Edo nor Chairman of the APC Media
Campaign Council, the mischief they were primed to accomplish will not fly. Of
course they don’t have sense.
“They were also so daft to know
that the governor was not a candidate in the said election and would not have
spoken on an election he was not a candidate”, Nwachuku said.
Read the rest of his press
release:
There is fake report trending on
the social media which claims that Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has
rejected the recently announced Edo State governorship election result…
No doubt, the authors of the fake
reports are obviously the same characters we have always known who have been
signing off press releases using the name and Office of the Chief Press
Secretary/ Media Adviser to give their criminal, selfish and foolish intent
some measure of credibility.
The recent Edo State governorship
election, like many others in the past involving Distinguished Senator
Uzodimma, has provided them with yet another opportunity to feed the public
with lies, lies and more lies, a vocation that seems to be their only known
source of livelihood.
In their desperation to discredit
Governor Uzodimma on the outcome of the Edo governorship poll, they have cast
innuendos; insinuating that he has rejected the outcome of the governorship
election and that he had accused the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) of being compromised, and that the All Progressive Congress (APC) will
get judgment from the tribunal.
Their insinuation also includes
that the governor said that the entire process was marred by irregularities
from INEC officials who, they claimed, sabotaged the system.
Obviously relying on the position
of Governor Uzodimma as the APC Deputy Chairman for the Edo Governorship
Campaign Council, the criminal-minded writers of the irritating fake news did
not stop at that. They had insinuated that the governor described the entire
exercise as shameful.
If the authors of the fake
reports still have some brain in their head, something would have told them
that since Governor Uzodimma is neither from Edo nor Chairman of the APC Media
Campaign Council, the mischief they were primed to accomplish will not fly. Of
course they don’t have sense.
They were also so daft to know
that the governor was not a candidate in the said election and would not have
spoken on an election he was not a candidate.
But they could not have advised
themselves rightly because having been paid princely to discredit the Imo State
governor, their sense of reasoning would automatically be blurred.
The hallmark of credible news
report is the voice the writer adds to it and Reuters could not have published
a report that dwells on hearsay like the one many may have been deceived to
think emanated from that respected news medium, but we know, did not.
To also say that in the
buffoonery, nay tomfoolery, of those who said Governor Uzodimma rejected the
Edo governorship election result, they signed off with the name of the Chief
Press Secretary/Media Adviser in a press release purportedly issued on
September 19, 2020, but with a template that actually read May 20, 2020, tells
a lot about their desperation to blackmail the governor and everything he
stands for, using every opportunity at their disposal.
We have always known, since the
coming on board of this administration, about the existence of stuntmen who
maintain templates with which they pull off stunts mainly fake news, thinking
they will derail the 3-R mantra vision of Governor Uzodimma. That, to us, is
mission impossible because the governor knows where he is headed with Imo
people.
Governor Uzodimma’s passion about
taking Imo out of the woods, particularly from the grips of political hawks and
merchants of blackmail whose umbilical chord seem tied to fake news and other
negative tendencies that cause disaffection cannot be derailed.
He has refused to be distracted,
even with the fake news that members of the public are fed with from time to
time, because he is quite aware of the reason for them.
