David Umahi, the Executive Governor of Ebonyi state has issued a 7-day ultimatum to Paschal Oluchukwu of the Organization of Ebonyi Indigenes in the Diaspora, demanding a public apology over baseless allegations accusing him of allocating land for RUGA settlement, or risk getting sued.
This was contained in a statement signed by Francis Nweze, the Special Assistant on Media. Governor David Umahi said Paschal Oluchukwu’s write-up was with the sole aim of pitting the good people of Ebonyi state against him and his administration.
“We would’ve ignored you hoping that you are bereft of fact, but because your glaring prejudice for the government and the good people of Ebonyi State informed your action and for posterity sake, we deem it necessary to respond to your callous and baseless assertion to save the general public from being misinformed.
“Such write-up is not just geared towards casting aspersions on the government’s matchless commitments to good governance, but a conscious attempt to pit us against our people whose collective will as enshrined in the constitution, we swore to protect”
