Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has distanced himself a statement credited to him by one Olutoyosi Omotoso accusing the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu as the mastermind behind the demise of the Kogi State APC governorship candidate, Audu Abubakar.

In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo on Monday, November 23, Okorocha there was no rift between him and Tinubu and consequently, the indicting statement was unwarranted.

He therefore described the report as one that was “totally false and cannot pass any logic to be believed,” adding “It was written in bad faith.”

The report credited to one Olutoyosi and entitled; “Tinubu, others killed Kogi Guber candidate-Okorocha”, was published on the Facebook account of the author.

The statement reads in part: “In the basically untrue report, the author claimed that the Imo Governor had accused the former Governor of Lagos state and one of the key pillars of the APC in the country, Senator Bola Tinubu and others he didn’t mention, of being responsible for the death of the APC governorship candidate in Kogi state, Prince Abubakar Audu.

“The report came up Sunday (November 22, 2016) evening and of course, few hours after the news of the death of the Kogi Prince were still in doubt by most Nigerians”.
“In the report, the author however failed or refused to mention or tell his audience whether Governor Okorocha had made that claim at a press conference or in a press release, but unfortunately and unintelligently said that the Imo Governor spoke on phone to say that.

“The truth of the matter is that, the report was totally false, even on the face value. It cannot pass any logic to be believed. It was written in bad faith.....See more: http://www.post-nigeria.com/tinubu-did-not-kill-prince-audu-okorocha/
