Abia State Commissioner for Information, John Okiyi has revealed that the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole never said that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu promised him 25% of votes during the APC campaign rally in the state.
In a statement made available to Igbere TV on Thursday, Okiyi said he took out time to watch the raw copy of the video of Oshiomhole Campaigning in Abia State.
The statement reads in full,
“Made in APC Political Nonsense and Ingredients”
“I took time to watch the raw copy of the video recording of the speech made in Umuahia by the national chairman of APC, Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, during the failed factional rally of the party and could not find where he claimed that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu visited him and promised that he would give him or anyone 25% of Abia votes at the presidential election.”
“If he had made such a claim, I simply would have asked him to produce evidence on date, time and place where he met with the Governor.”
“Anyone who is still in doubt regarding what Oshiomhole said or did not say should feel free to contact me, NTA and others who recorded the event for a copy of the video, even as I am aware that no mainstream reporter or media house published the subsequent social media fabrications engineered by paid Abia APC propagandists.”
“Suffice it for me to state as follows:”
“1. Governor Ikpeazu has not visited or met Oshiomhole since the latter was selected as national Chairman of APC.”
“2. I wonder how folks will be talking about giving someone 25% in an election where almost 2m Abians will independently cast their votes. Could it be that those behind the rumor and subsequent social media mischief are masturbating about possibly writing the results of 2019 polls in Abia State or Nigeria?”
“3. One thing I am sure of is that APC and her candidates will suffer crushing defeat in Abia State. Our people are set to vote for PDP all the way.”
