Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

Mr. Flavor Eze, the Personal Assistant to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama has described as spurious and unfounded, claims that he diverted Federal Government palliatives meant for the people of Enugu State.<\/p>\n

The claim was made by a member of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr Peter Ilo, in a petition.<\/p>\n

Ilo, from Egede ward in Udi LG of Enugu State, had alleged that: \u201cThe palliative meant for good people of Enugu State and non party members was diverted by Mr Flavor Eze to his friends and relatives outside the directive of the leadership of our party and presidency.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHe converted a part of the items for his personal use, shared some to his friends and family and then repackaged the other half and shared it as a palliative from the Minister\u2019s political foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, reacting, Eze said the allegations were coming from the pit of hell.<\/p>\n

He said he would have kept quiet but had to set the records straight to avoid giving a false impression to the people.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

According to the minister\u2019s aide, \u201cMy attention was actually drawn to a malicious report against me by one Peter Ilo, through social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, I had wanted to wave it off but the need to make this comment is to avoid leaving the fake news in the minds of the members of the society.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make it categorically clear, the honourable minister of foreign affairs never received any palliative from the Federal Government on behalf of Enugu State.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe palliatives from the Federal Government, meant for the 36 States were handed over to the governments of the respective States and Enugu was not an exception.<\/p>\n
