Rivers State Government has denied the news circulating in the Social Media that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State denigrated his Imo State counterpart, Governor Hope Uzodinma.
Hope Uzordimma, Governor of Imo State
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State
In government statement signed by Paulinus Nsirim, Commissioner for Information and Communications, said the story was concocted by the purveyors of the deliberate falsehood who alleged that Governor Wike replied Governor Uzodinma over a recent statement where he allegedly boasted that “the All Progressives Congress (APC) will teach the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor Wike how to conduct a transparent election in the forthcoming Edo State gubernatorial election.”
State Government said the concocted story only existed in the imagination of the authors and so there was also no disparaging comment by Governor Wike.
It urged members of the public are hereby to discountenance all the information contained in the said publication as they did not emanate from Governor Wike.
