The
attention of the Wife of the Abia State Governor has been drawn to a false
report circulating in social media to the effect that her Excellency, Mrs
Odochi Orji, is running for a House of Representative seat under the platform
of People's Democratic Party.
The
purveyors of this falsehood also circulated a purported campaign poster,
apparently manipulated with Photo Shop as evidence of her participation in the
2015 electoral process.
We
wish to state categorically that the Governor's wife is not interested in any
political office including a house of representative seat. At no time did she
indicate any interest in elective political office and a cursory check at PDP
secretariat Abuja will confirm that she did not at any time purchase expression
of interest or nomination form to contest for any position.
However,
she appreciates the overwhelming support of well meaning Abians and residents
to her husband and family through the years.
Her
Excellency wishes to advice the general public to ignore the continuing
malicious campaign of calumny being waged by enemies of the state against her
husband and Abians by despicable characters who have taken political chicanery
and deceit to ridiculous levels just to distract her husband's administration
from it's goal of delivering lasting legacies as dividends of democracy to
Abians.
Signed:
Mrs
Nnezi Onuoha
Personal
Assistant to Her Excellency
