Read the statement:

“My attention has been drawn to fake news, circulating on the social media platforms which falsely claimed that Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha CON received a phone call from Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka Spiritual Director, Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Enugu State.

“The report falsely attributed a statement to me, alleging that Fr. Mbaka, in the purported phone conversation, pleaded for forgiveness from my boss, over his utterances before and after the Supreme Court Judgement of January 14, 2020 on the 2019 Imo State Governorship election.

“I wish to make it clear that there was no such telephone conversation between Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and Fr. Ejike Mbaka, neither did I author any statement nor speak to anybody pertaining to such.

“Nigerians and the good people of Imo State are advised to disregard such unfounded propaganda, as it is a known handiwork of enemies who do not wish Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and the good people of Imo State well.

“We are not unaware of the desperate efforts to misrepresent His Excellency at this time but we believe that truth and justice shall prevail sooner than later.

“Noteworthy, Rt. Hon. Ihedioha has remained a firm advocate and believer in the idea that Imo State should be known for positive discourse and not otherwise.

“The purveyors of such mischief are also strongly advised to desist from such acts and align with those values shared by Rt. Hon. Ihedioha that Imo State should be known for positive reasons at all times.
