Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Imo State government has disowned forwarding any list of seven commissioner nominees to the House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.<\/p>\n

The government described the purported \u2018second batch\u2019 forwarded to the Assembly by Governor Hope Uzodimma as fake.<\/p>\n

A statement signed on Monday by the governor\u2019s Chief Press secretary, Oguwike Nwachuku, said no such list exists.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, those behind this latest fake list, like they did last week using the New and Electronic Media desk and also tagged it \u201csecond batch\u201d, put my name on the poorly written press release they escalated on social media to make it look authentic before the unsuspecting reading public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Oguwike stated that his office did not issue any press statement on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unsuspecting and reading members of the public who, those behind the fake list wanted to deceive, should ignore such antics of political jobbers and idlers who think that resorting to blackmail is the answer to either their political ambition or that of their co travellers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Governor of Imo State, Senator Uzodimma, is wiser than the perpetrators of this old order of using blackmail and arm twisting to climb to positions of responsibility which, unfortunately, left our dear State disabled over the years and will never travel that road again.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo also think that by raising a fake list and using my office and name to legitimise it is the answer to their haunt for job is the most stupid thing any right thinking person could ever do.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the statement, \u201cGovernor Uzodimma has commenced the process of selecting those who will fit the mould of Imo State of his dream and there will be no going back.\u201d<\/p>\n
