IMSU: PDP, fingered in Fake News and Gutter Politics.

The PDP has been fingered in the purported release by the office of Chief Press Secretary to IMO state government, about the re naming of IMO State University to Abba Kyari University.

In a release made available to newsmen in Owerri the state capital, the Chief Press Secretary to IMO state government said that "The attention of the Office of the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to the Governor has been drawn to a fake news circulating on the social media, purporting that Governor Hope Uzodimma wants to rename Imo State University, Owerri, after the late Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari"

He said that the author(s) of the fake news had not only credited to the governor what he could not have said, but they criminally wrote the name of his Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser, Mr. Oguwike Nwachuku as the one who signed the purported statement.

He said that since last weekend that Kyari passed on, the same persons have been issuing press statements, forging
the logo of government and the name of Mr. Nwachuku with the intent to deceive Imolites in particular and the public in general into believing their propaganda and fake news to be real.

The Chief Press Secretary Mr Oguike said that ordinarily, the blackmail by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) through the two fake statements they credited to the Chief Press Secretary/Media Adviser to the Governor should have been ignored,
knowing that no right thinking person will believe them.

The release said that in one of such fake
statements they issued and also circulated on social media, they mischievously
credited Governor Uzodimma to have said he would immortalise Kyari for “making
him Governor.”

"How would any person believe the complete
thrash that Governor Uzodimma will in a condolence letter say that the late Chief
of Staff to the President made him governor of Imo State"

Such a senseless and irresponsible blackmail is uncalled for.
Not done, the PDP went further to credit yet another fallacy to the CPS/Media Adviser that Governor Uzodimma will rename Imo State University after the late Kyari.

He stressed that It was their desperation
to deepen the propaganda and criminal intents that drove them to the latest fake news of purported renaming of Imo State University after Kyari, something
that only exists in the imagination of their tiny brain’s imagination.

"These heartless and infantile fabrications by
the PDP do not ordinarily deserve the dignity of a refutal by the
respected Office of the CPS/Media Adviser.

He stressed that, the circumstances are not
ordinary, because it is about playing politics with the dead. It is sad to admit that the PDP has lost every sense of decency and fallen to the beastly level of denigrating the memory of the dead.

He said that one is not shocked, therefore, to notice that even in their desperation, the PDP could go so low to commit the sacrilege of dragging the name of a late distinguished statesman into gutter politics. This act of madness is both ridiculous and reckless beyond our imagination.

We are not surprised at
the level the propagandists of these fake news and their surrogates have
descended, but concerned about how some people will elect to deliberately deceive the public with information they know is outright false and misleading.

For the avoidance of doubt, let it be
known that the two statements in reference were not issued by the office of the CPS/Media Adviser. They were fabricated and issued by the PDP and wickedly credited them to his office. We know exactly the person behind this and appropriate legal steps have been initiated to bring him to book.

No doubt, we would have
loved to ignore these agents of distraction and fake news, but for the fact that we owe Imo people and the public the right to factual information on the activities of a responsible government like ours.

That is why we enjoin the public, including Imolites, to ignore all the fake news being churned out around the death of Kyari by criminally-minded PDP agents and to also bear in mind that their appetite for wrong causes may not be easy to quench in one fell swoop.

The release from the office of the CPS therefore advised the reading public to take fake news seriously and make conscious efforts to identify the promoters and ensure that they join others who stand against fake news globally to make their trade unattractive.
