So-called reply to Governor Hope Uzodimma wasn’t by me– Wike

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.

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.
