Dear Mr Oluwaseun Osewa,

This is this the Hon Emmanuel Obot. I would like to commend your journalistic skills, especially in the matters of Nigerian affairs. It is unfortunate that I have only recently been made known to this report made by yourself. In 2009, you took the liberty of reporting on this alleged incident of my fleeing arrest and the other false details (as you've made them above). I would like to formally state that this matter never took place. In fact, due to your inclusion of an alleged N3 Billion gain by myself, i cant help but to question whether you seek to put me in harm's way via kidnapping which is a present danger or even boko-aram.  If you seek to truly be a credible reporter, i cant help but to question why you have failed to update this false information except that you are indeed gaining financially by attempting to slander my character and my name through my defeated opponent (in the court of appeals) Elder Bassey Etim. The Leadership newspaper has since the time of your publication (2009) both apologized and revoked these allegations; I am requesting that you do the same within one week's time from this very statement (8/27/2011). Make haste to reply with your formal name and rightful contact information so as to identify with whom I am communicating with. Also make haste to remove this false account from this blog reporting site as the information is false and was masterminded by my then opponent. If you would like to accurately update the public, please be informed that I had since been court ordered to serve in the National Assembly after the injustice suffered by myself as the rightful occupant of Uyo Federal CConstituencyin Akwa Ibom State.

Regards.
