The recent allegations suggesting that Rt. Hon Ehie Edison had a clandestine meeting with prominent Nigerian socialites (Omoyele Sowore, Rinu Oduala, Aisha Yesufu, and Henry Shield) to sponsor a mass protest against President Tinubu in Rivers State themed #EndbadGovernaceInNigeria, are entirely unfounded and baseless.
According to the Office of the Chief of Staff to the Rivers State Governor, “These claims appear to be a calculated attempt to tarnish Ehie Edison’s reputation and sow discord between the State Government and Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”.
“First and foremost, Rt.Hon.Dr. Ehie Edison Esq.DSSRS has consistently demonstrated a commitment to peaceful and constructive dialogue as a means of addressing political and social issues. His track record speaks for itself, showing a dedication to the rule of law and democratic principles. Engaging in such disruptive activities would be entirely out of character for him.”
“Furthermore, there is a lack of credible evidence to support these allegations. In an age, where misinformation can spread rapidly, it is crucial to rely on verified facts and not be swayed by rumors or unsubstantiated claims. To date, no concrete proof has been presented that would validate the assertion that Rt.Hon.Dr.Ehie Edison Esq,DSSRS is involved in any such scheme.”
“It is also important to consider the broader context. In a politically charged environment, it is not uncommon for false accusations to be leveled against prominent figures as a means of discrediting them. This appears to be yet another instance where political opponents are attempting to undermine Ehie Edison’s credibility and influence.”
“Rt.Hon.Dr.Ehie Edison Esq.DSSRS remains focused on his responsibilities and continues to advocate for the interests of the people he represents. Rather than being distracted by baseless accusations, he is committed to working towards the betterment of Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole.”
“The allegations against Rt.Hon.Dr. Ehie Edison Esq.DSSRS are without merit and should be viewed with skepticism. We urge the public and the media to critically assess the veracity of such claims and to seek the truth based on evidence rather than conjecture.”
“It is no news that the Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara and Rt.Hon.Dr. Ehie Edison Esq,DSSRS, the Chief of Staff, have pledged and rendered their unflinching support to the Administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on various times and occasions both the Governor of Rivers State Sir, Siminalayi Fubara, and the Chief of State Government House, Rivers State, Rt.Hon.Dr.Ehie Edison Esq. DSSRS, have come out to unequivocally say that they will continue to support President Tinubu’s administration, anyone behind this false accusation is the real enemy of the Federal Government led by President Tinubu as such is only targeted at orchestrating chaos and causing political instability in Rivers State and Nigerian in General.”
“In conclusion, We use this medium to call on the Nigerian police, DSS, and all security agencies to employ expertise in fishing out those unscrupulous elements who are fanning the embers of crisis by propagating baseless allegations against Government Officials in Rivers in a bid to set a war between the Rivers State and the Federal Government ably led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”
