The Ebonyi State Government, has disclaimed a statement supposedly published by Governor David Umahi, over the just concluded governorship election in the state.
A statement was earlier published that the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, was declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
This has sparked reactions among netixens. The statement which allegedly emanate from the Governor David Umahi of Eboniyi state has been disclaimed.
In a statement, signed by Umahi’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Francis Nwaze, the State Government said the Governor is yet to comment on the election and that the public should disregard such frivolous posts.
The statement read in part:
“Our attention has been drawn to an infantile Facebook post on the timeline of one Chijinkem, alleging that the Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr David Umahi, declared that the last Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Anambra was fret with irregularities.
“The poster equally implied that the Governor rejects the outcome on behalf of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and people of Anambra State and threatened to seek redress.
“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have bothered responding to the ill-fated post by the attention-seeking fellow but we have elected to clear the doubt of some discerning minds”, he wrote.
