The Abia State government has refuted social media reports claiming that Mr. Goodluck Ubochi, the Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, has resigned. The government, through a statement by Ferdinand Ekeoma, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor Alex Otti, described the reports as false and baseless. Ekeoma accused members of a faction within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and other individuals of spreading the misleading information. Ubochi expressed his shock and embarrassment over the false report, which also distressed his family, and affirmed that the claims are entirely untrue.
The Special Adviser raised the alarm at the rate of fake news being reported about the State government by the alleged members of the opposition.
“The general public are therefore enjoined to look at any news report emanating from the opposition with suspicion and caution”, he said.
