Press Release
GOVERNOR FRANCIS OGBONNA NWIFURU DID NOT BOW TO OBI CUBANA
1. It has come to our knowledge, that a certain uncensored image from today’s business visit of Obinna Iyiegbu (Obi Cubana) to His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru is wrongly trending on the new media space, implying that the Governor bowed to his visitor.
2. Let me categorically state, that the Governor did not bow to Obi Cubana. The uncensored image which went out unapproved, captured a moment where the visitor conversed in a low tune, and the Governor in humility, drew closer to hear what his visitor was muting to him owing to his towering height.
3. The said image is misconstrued and should not have been let out in the first place. We apologize and take full responsibility for this lapse, as it will be addressed accordingly.
4. The Governor of Ebonyi State, His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru is a noble leader who not only understands the weight of his office, but as well, carries the Ebonyi brand in distinction and guards it jealousy with an admirable sense of honour.
5. The general public is by this release, implored to disregard the rather unfortunate submissions of some mischief makers, and focus their support for the Government of Ebonyi State, led by a man whose excellence is simply, alluring.
