Our
attention has been drawn to yet another falsehood being circulated by the
infamous online media arm of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ), Sahara Reporters. The medium in a concocted
report claimed that the former chairman of the Rivers State Governorship
Election Tribunal, Justice Mu’azu
Pindiga was removed because Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike offered hima bribe of
N200m.
This
story is false in its entirety. It is part of a larger conspiracy by the APC
and her axis of evil media agents to mislead members of the public.
Nigerians
will recall that a few days ago, the
Rivers State APC Chairman, Mr Davies
Ikanya alleged in a a widely circulated false press statement that Governor
Wike was in the process of taking a N10billion loan to bribe members of the
tribunal. This report by Sahara
Reporters is just an ugly part of the larger media conspiracy.
Realising
that they have no case at the Tribunal,
the APC has resorted to the sponsorship of false reports in
irresponsible media outlets like Sahara Reporters.
For
the avoidance of doubt, Governor Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike did not and will
never
offer bribe to anyone, let alone members of the Rivers State Governorship
Election Tribunal.
Governor
Wike was overwhelmingly voted into office by the people of Rivers
State
in an election that was free, fair, credible and peaceful.
Nigerians
should disregard this false report by Sahara Reporters. It is worrisome that
this clandestine medium is ready to go to any length, no matter how
ridiculous, to serve her paymasters.
Simeon
Nwakaudu,
Special
Assistant ( Media ) to the Rivers State Governor.
