The former Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Chief (Dr.) Willie Maduabuchi Obiano, (Akpokuedike Aguleri) said that his attention has been drawn to a viral social media post falsely attributing to him an endorsement of a particular aspirant in the forthcoming Anambra Governorship Election.
The fake statement mischievously claims that Chief Obiano, while allegedly addressing Ndi Anambra in Texas, “urged them to go for the ultimate” and declared that a certain aspirant “will do excellently well as Governor of Anambra State”.
According to Sir Paul Nwosu, “This fabrication is entirely false, misleading, and should be completely disregarded by the public”.
“Chief Obiano neither addressed any gathering of Ndi Anambra in Texas nor granted any interview or issued any statement, publicly or privately, concerning the forthcoming election or any aspirant. As a statesman and a former Governor, who served Anambra State with distinction, Chief Obiano remains committed to the peace, progress, and democratic integrity of the State.”
“He is not apolitical and reserves the right to make his views known clearly, personally and without ambiguity when he deems it appropriate. Such declarations, when made, will not come from faceless third parties or shadowy platforms.”
“The general public is therefore, urged to treat the said statement as FAKE NEWS.”
