Former Rivers State Governor, Dr Peter Odili, has denied making disparaging remarks about the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, and other political leaders.
Odili dismissed the report, authored by Donald Lezua Degbara, as false, fabricated, and malicious, insisting that he never made the statements attributed to him.
The denial was contained in an official disclaimer signed by his Media Adviser, Emma Okah, PhD.
According to the statement, the alleged remarks did not originate from Odili’s office or media team, describing the publication as an attempt by mischief-makers to mislead the public and create unnecessary political tension.
The former governor urged members of the public, political stakeholders and media organisations to disregard the report entirely.
Odili, according to the statement, remains committed to promoting peace, unity and development in Rivers State and Nigeria.
