We have uncovered a hatchet job carried out by a faceless online medium crediting our leader, the former Transport Minister, Rt Hon Chibuike Amaechi, with comments questioning the role of the APC and INEC over the screening/qualification of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
We want to make it abundantly clear, that at no time did our leader make such demonic comments whether in private or public to query the qualifications of the President-elect or linking him to drug trafficking within or outside Nigeria.
Such claptraps are handiworks of fifth columnists who do not wish our leader well and for the avoidance of doubts, our leader has no personal angst against the President-elect.
Besides, Rt Hon Amaechi said whatever he said concerning Tinubu and INEC in the full glare of the world when journalists covering elections in Rivers State intercepted him after he voted in the governorship election. His words were clean and clear. Any person who wants to accuse the president-elect is free to do so but should not hide under the former minister to do so.
We wish to warn these purveyors of fake news of the dire consequences of flying such wicked and unfounded rumours. We invite security agencies to go after these elements of hate and divisiveness, inorder to sanitize the noble journalism profession.
