Re: Governor Names Government Building After His Daughter.


My attention has been drawn to the above captioned story beibg circulated on social media.

My initial response was to ignore the usual ranting of Wailing Wailers but it is also vital to put the record straight as a lie told several times unchallenged, starts wearing the garb of truth.

It is unfortunate that such cocktail, false, deceitful and libelous story meant to bring the governor of Imo State to public ridicule as packaged by some social media practitioners who are purveyors of blackmail and lies.

Let me state as follows:

1. That the said building is the property of the Imo State Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) located along Okigwe Road, Owerri.
2. That the owner of the building, a federal government body, reserves the right to name same after any individual it so wishes.
3. That there is no iota of truth that the state government named the building after the governor’s daughter as it is not a state owned building.
4. That discerning and intelligent reading public should beware of the enemies of the state who will stop at nothing in their bids to tarnish the image of the governor and the state government.

Imo Is Already Better.
