Uzodinma Denies Paying Herdsmen N8m For Missing Cows by etokhana: 4:45pm On May 14, 2020
…Accuses PDP as sponsors of fake news

Imo State Government Thursday denied paying ₦8million to herdsmen, who allegedly lost their cows at Ezinihitte Mbaise describing the report making round on social media as fake news orchestrated by the opposition.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Hope Uzodinma, Oguwike Nwachuku disclosed that in the said fake news, “the criminals also purportedly wrote that the Governor met with the leadership of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) at the Government House, Owerri.”

He said: “Those who generated the obvious fake news also criminally signed off for the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, in a desperate attempt to legitimise their criminal intent and have the buy-in of the public.”

He denied the reports saying this was not the first time the agents of opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) would issue such misinformation to discredit his government and cause disharmony between the government and the good people of Imo State.

The statement read in part:

“This is not the first, nor will it likely be the last, time agents of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) will criminally issue a statement purporting same to have emanated from the Office of the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser. They did when former Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari died and, in their warped mentality and hallucination, renamed the Imo State University after Kyari.

“Again, today, May 14, 2020, the same people whose stock in trade is to disseminate false reports on social media to satiate the appetite of their paymasters have been paid to do what they and their sponsors are good at criminality. Again, they have failed!

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Government of Imo State under the watch of our able Governor Uzodimma does not know what the PDP-sponsored criminals are talking about as regards the purported payment of ₦8m and meeting.

“The Office of the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, therefore, dissociates itself from the purported press release and purported payment, the imaginary meetings between the Governor and MACBAN, and the gibberish associated with the non-existent meetings.

He stated: “While the government is very much committed to a society, where constructive criticism helps to bring development, it will continue to have zero tolerance for people who deploy criminality and subjective criticism with the intention of misinforming and misleading the public.

“It is a shame that the purveyors of fake news on the current Imo State Government have sold their consciences that one wonders if Mac Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and also owner of WhatsApp, will not be wondering if they are under spell.

“On a day Imo people are reflecting and rejoicing over nearly one billion Naira that has been traced to be in dormant accounts in one bank alone due to the recklessness of the past administrations, a gang of PDP-sponsored social media zealots are busy orchestrating fake news, just to divert attention and cause disharmony. What a shame?

“The government of Governor Uzodimma is irrevocably committed to good governance and will not be distracted, not even by the resort to fake news by the opposition and their agents as a blackmail tool.

“The public in general and Imo people in particular should, therefore, ignore every fake news meant to misinform them about Imo State Government activities, more so, as Governor Uzodimma is not interested in telling anybody lies. The era of deceit is gone.

“We also caution the reading public to be wary of fake news materials they are quick to help the criminal-minded propagandists, blackmailers and enemies of development share on social media as doing so will portray them as accomplices.”

True or not it was supposed to be a nice gesture, but understandably it won't be hailed by the people.

I personally hope it's a false report. Our people need that money more.

Hope Uzodinma is clearly playing politics by the fact that he mentioned his opposition party's name (PDP) in this whole mess. I absolutely cannot trust any politician regardless of tribe or religion because most of them get into these political positions to secure the bag. They never cared about the people they lead.

Now with that being said, people need to wake up and realize that blaming other tribes for your misfortunes is quite lame and it only makes a success the works of the evil people that want you all divided and conquered.

Our real enemies are the wicked corrupt politicians that have plagued our country for the past 60 years whether hausa, Ibo or Yoruba; and the other enemies that we have are foreigners (mostly leaders in the western world, Lebanon, India, China etc) that enjoy our division over politics, religion and tribal issues because the more divided we are, the easier it is for them to penetrate our resources. Also the easier it is for them to have our sellout leaders to go back to them for more financial assistance.

Before i forget, a final group of people who are our enemies and are very difficult to change or get rid of are the regular citizens that have made corrupt people their role models. Citizens that aspire to become politicians so that one day, they can "chop outta the national cake".

we need to figure this mess out people. We cannot continue living this way otherwise Africans will NEVER be respected around the world permanently.

As useless as Uzodinma is (the jury is still out on him anyway), I'm definitely sure he won't be that stupid to give fulani degenerates 8 million naira and have the press expose it for that matter (except serious craze dey worry am be that). Mbaise folks are very ruthless, those ones don't tolerate rubbish at all. The Last time Fulani herdsmen trespassed in their communities, na free Suya dem use their cows take organize for community.
