The son of late Ikemba of Nnewi and Igbo leader, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, Mr Emeka Ojukwu Jnr has revealed that his father did briefed him about his position on the unity of Nigeria as he said he would want one indissoluble Nigeria. He also used the moment to deny claims that he was in support of the agitations for Biafra.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Awka, Anambra State, the junior Ojukwu said he never granted any media interview or posted any massage on social media that Buhari was wrong about his discussion with his late father.
He said, “It has been brought to my attention that there is an article making the rounds on social media attributed to me refuting the remarks of Mr. President concerning his relationship and discussion with my late father.
“Let me state the following categorically: firstly, that I made no such comments to anybody, and secondly that I am aware that His Excellency’s (Buhari’s) comments were indeed factual.
“I have noticed a disturbing trend recently of fake news being attributed to me on social media. I don’t know who is behind it or what their motive might be, but let me assure you that any time I feel the need to comment publicly on any matter, I will not do so via some anonymous email or anything of the like; rather be rest assured that there will be no ambiguity whatsoever as to whether the comments came from me.”
He urged the public to discountenance the stories in the social media or any media platform whatsoever credited to him that he accused Buhari of telling lies, warning that such malicious and damaging publications would not be taken lightly should it be repeated.
He counseled those overheating the polity to desist from such in the interest of the country.
He added, “Let me lend my voice to those of the rest of my fellow countrymen and welcome Mr. President back home.”
