Imo State: Prof Njoku Didn’t Resign As Deputy Governor

Contrary to the fake news being circulated in the social media, an aide to Prof. Placid Njoku, the Deputy Governor of Imo State, has debunked the news.

In a statement signed by Ozioma Teddy Ukwuoma, Chief Press Secretary to His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Imo State, he said, “My attention has been drawn to the fake news circulating in the social media purporting that the Deputy Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Prof Placid Njoku, has resigned”.

“While it remains our practice to ignore such baseless stories, the need to put the truth out to concerned imo citizens has necessitated this refutal.”

“This story has no iota of truth in it but is a mere figment of the  imaginations of those working  against the Government and people of Imo State.”

“The Imo State Deputy Governor, His Excellency Prof. Placid Njoku, enjoys a robust working relationship with his boss, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator  Hope Uzodimma, Executive Governor of Imo State and indeed with every member of the state Executive Council, including members of the State Legislature.”

“Imolites are enjoined to disregard such unfounded rumours and continue supporting the peace and development of Imo State.”
