Kola Ologbondiyan, the spokesperson for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization, said this in Abuja, on Tuesday. He said, “The rumor being circulated to suggest that the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, resigned or contemplated resigning his appointment as the Chairman of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council is fake news.
“Our Campaign assures Nigerians as well as all pro-democracy and development partners that such an idea is not in the contemplation of the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel.
“Governor Udom Emmanuel, this afternoon at the Flag-off of the PDP Governorship Campaign which was held at the Nest of Champions Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State Capital, declared that the rumor is a lie “from the pit of hell” and that he remains the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council.
“He assured that Governor Emmanuel is effectively and committedly leading a successful campaign that will take our Party to victory and will not be distracted by the wishful thinking of the enemies of Nigeria.
According to Ologbondiyan, “The Atiku/Okowa Campaign, therefore, urges Nigerians to ignore such shenanigans and fake news coming from the enemies of our nation who are desirous of causing confusion in the polity with a view to derailing the electoral process. We caution those behind this wicked rumor to desist from such and know that they are fighting a lost battle as Nigerians across board are already rallying with the PDP and cannot be swayed by fake news.”
