The Akwa Ibom State Government said that their attention has been drawn to a vile propaganda by a faceless writer, where he maliciously made false assertions purportedly attributed to the Governor of Akwa IIbom State, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, regarding the ongoing Presidential Election litigations.
The Government cleared the air in a statement signed by Ekerete Udoh,
Chief Press Secretary to Governor Umo Eno.
He said, “We wish to state categorically that the spurious report alleged to have emanated from the PDP Stakeholders’ meeting that took place yesterday, is false, malicious and intentionally concocted to satisfy the writer’s sponsors, who are shocked by the warm relationship that exists between the father of our Nation, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR and Pastor Umo Eno, Governor of Akwa Ibom State”.
“At no time, at the PDP Stakeholders’ meeting that took place yesterday, was any such issue as maliciously reported by the faceless reporter, ever tabled or discussed. We challenge the writer to provide recorded evidence of such discussions.”
“We are aware of the plots of certain individuals in the State, who have sworn to manufacture lies against Governor Umo Eno, so as to cause a rift between the Government of Akwa Ibom State and the Federal Government. This is very sad and unfortunate.”
“We wish to reiterate the fact that, His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, as a pastor does not engage in small talks. He respects constituted authority, and as a bridge- builder, who has worked across party lines since he was sworn in, would never engage in such partisan glib talks.”
“His Excellency, Pastor Umo
Eno, will continue to collaborate with the Federal Government, led by His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”
“Members of the public are advised to ignore and discountenance these series of false reports.”
