The Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State, Kelechi Igwe says he has never linked with the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu with the security situation of the state.

But for clarity, he stated that he never met with government officials, security agents and members of the press in the state capital, Abakalik as contained in the write up, saying he has been away on state duties to Abuja.
The statement also read, "that the Deputy Governor never addressed any crowd and at no time did he link Nnamdi Kanu with flooding Ebonyi state with terrorists against Fulani Cattle rearers doing their legitimate business in the state.
"That the general public and peace loving people of Ebonyi State are by this statement informed that it is a malicious report from faceless individuals who are jealous of the rising profile and peaceful disposition of His Excellency the Deputy Governor.
"That the author (s ) of the fictitious report are nothing but mischief makers who are hellbent in disparaging the hard earned reputation of the Deputy governor out of envy.
"That the report is a calculated attempt to to incite the people of the State in particular and South zone in general against the Deputy Governor
"That His Excellency the Governor had earlier exonerated IPOB/ESN from attacks in the zone , therefore His Excellency the Deputy Governor has no reason whatsoever to be discordant with the genuine position of the Governor.
"That the Deputy Governor is conscious of his constitutional responsibly of assisting the Governor His Excellency Engr David Nweze Umahi to deliver on his mandate to the people of Ebonyi State.
"That the people of Ebonyi State, South East Zone and indeed Nigeria should disregard the report in its entirety.
"The Deputy Governor however pledges his unalloyed commitment to cooperate with the Governor to move Ebonyi State to the next level against every distractions."
