Ihedioha Alleges Plot To Hit Him Against Obi
Former governor of Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha has alleged a campaign to malign him by portraying him as coming up against the 2023 presidential bid of Mr Peter Obi with claims that he called for Ndigbo to wait till 2031 to make a bid for the presidency.
The former governor spoke in response to a viral news item titled “2023: Igbos Should Wait Till 2031, Peter Obi Is Crafty” which was supposedly credited to Ihedioha.
Debunking the news report, Ihedioha speaking through his media aide, Chibuke Onyeukwu, said:
“Our attention has been drawn to another fake news, with the above caption, circulated in some social media platforms.
“This is one of the many orchestrated efforts by political opponents of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha CON and their collaborators who are afraid of squaring up against him in the coming elections.
Ihedioha Did Not Grant Any Interview Against Peter Obi
“It is noteworthy that, His Excellency did not grant any interview in Abuja or elsewhere as claimed.
“His Excellency is known to acquit himself in the most civil, decent and respectful manner and therefore could not have employed such uncouth words.
“We are aware that the purveyors of these unfounded reports are unrelenting in their desperation to impugn His Excellency’s integrity and reputation.
“The public therefore is alerted and indeed advised to kindly ignore and disregard the fake news.”
