Former Chairman of Obio/Akpor O cal Government Area, Barr. George Ariolu has disowned a publication by Nigeria Info 92.3 FM circulating on Facebook, which attributed certain political statements concerning President Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC), FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and the political situation in Rivers State to him.
In a statement, Ariolu said he neither made the comments contained in the publication nor authorised anyone to speak on his behalf, describing the report as a false attribution.
He criticised the radio station for circulating what he described as politically sensitive claims without verifying their authenticity or seeking confirmation from him.
Ariolu, however, reaffirmed his support for the political leadership of Wike and the administration and political vision of President Tinubu, stressing that his political convictions remained unchanged.
He consequently called on the management of Nigeria Info 92.3 FM to investigate the source of the publication, retract the report, correct the misinformation and issue an apology to him.
He added that the clarification was necessary to protect his reputation and prevent the public from being misled by statements he insisted he never made.
