Prof. Njoku Didn’t Resign As Deputy Governor – Spokesman Clarifies

Contrary to the rumour mills that the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prof. Placid Njoku has resigned, his Chief Press Secretary, Ozioma Ukwuoma has said there is not truth in the story, describing mere figment of the imagination of enemies of the government.

Ukwuoma made the assertion in a press release he issued to the newsmen and also shared on various social media handles.

He said nothing could have called for such as the Deputy Governor enjoys robust working relationship with his boss, the Governor of Imo State

He therefore called on the people of Imo State and beyond to disregard the unfounded rumour.

The statement:

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
