BY PRINCELY ONYENWE,IMO

Information released from the office of the deputy governor of Imo State signed by the Chief Press Secretary to His Excellency the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Ozioma Teddy Ukwuoma has refuted the rumour making the rounds on social media that his Excellency professor Placid NJOKU resigned from office is a mirage and a set up from the opposition to reduce the Government.

The release stated as thus:

OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR, IMO STATE

My attention has been drawn to the fake news circulating in the social media purporting that the Deputy Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Prof Placid Njoku has resigned.

While it remains our practice to ignore such baseless stories, the need to put the truth out to concerned imo citizens has necessitated this refutal .

This story has no iota of truth in it but is a mere figment of the imaginations of those working against the Government and people of Imo state

The Imo State Deputy Governor , His Excellency Prof. Placid Njoku enjoys a robust working relationship with his boss, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, Executive Governor of Imo State and indeed with every member of the state executive Council, including members of the state legislature.

Imolites are enjoined to disregard such unfounded rumours and continue supporting the peace and development of Imo State.

Professor Placid NJOKU remains the deputy governor of Imo state and has not RESIGNED.
