"The attention of Ebonyi State Government has been drawn to a misrepresentation of facts contained in a newspaper report credited to one freelancer, Johnchuks Onuanyim and publshed in Sun and New Telegraph Newspapers of Sunday,15th May 2022 among other media platforms, and which gives false impression that His Excellency, Engr. Chief David Nweze Umahi FNSE FNATE, Governor of Ebonyi State is one of the Presidential aspirants who submitted forms for Senatorial ticket.
"For the records, His Excellency, Engr Chief David Nweze Umahi FNSE FNATE submitted nomination forms for the Presidential ticket only and not for any other ticket whatsoever. His Presidential ambition is therefore unwavering.
"The newspaper report is distorted and lacks authenticity and therefore falls short of the slightest credibility as it is aimed at demeaning the personality of the Governor of Ebonyi State.
"Members of the public are enjoined to discountenance this untoward publication as an orchestration of political desperadoes who feel threatened by the acceptable performance credentials of Governor Umahi and the rising popularity of his Presidential ambition which is deeply rooted on evidential performance trackrecords, equity and social justice.
"We thank all compatriots who have stood with our dear Governor in his Presidential aspiration and who are committed to his cause of Nation Building Your prayers mean a lot for him".
