Activist denies maligning Gov. Ugwuanyi

By Stanley Nwanosike

An Enugu-based Social Activist, Mr Chukwuma Okenwa, dismissed insinuations that he granted media interview against Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and his “sterling outstanding achievements” in the state.

Okenwa said this on Sunday in Enugu while reacting to reports linking him to unprintable statements against the governor.

“To set the record straight, I did not grant any interview to a non existent platform seeking attention.

“I have not even heard of any platform called by the name before and I am sure it is equally a strange platform to the good people of Enugu State.

“How can an acclaimed news platform compile such a report without the name of the news writer?”

Okenwa said such “a report can only be fabricated by unconscionable individuals who are bent on scoring cheap political points”.

He called on the people of the state to disregard such a report, as “never a time did I grant such an interview to any news platform, not even in my dream”.

The activist also thanked Gov. Ugwuanyi for the opportunity to serve in his administration, adding: “I urge His Excellency, to disregard the malicious report linked to me.”
