Gubernatorial aspirant, Umo Eno, debunks claims gave a clergy an undisclosed hefty amount of money to gain a favourable prophesy.
In the statement signed by the Umo Eno Media Team retrieved by Freelanews, the claims that the aspirant carried out the action was not only false but desperate bids of aspirants to ‘discredit’ and disparage his hard earned reputation.
The statement read;
Our attention has been drawn to a barrage of complete falsehood and innuendo-filled reports attacking the person of leading Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial aspirant, Pastor Umo Eno and his campaign organisation.
It is obvious that these concocted stories are clear attempts by sinking and desperate opponents to discredit a noble man who has been working hard in the past few months, visiting critical stakeholders across the state to consult them and share his vision ahead of the gubernatorial election.
For the avoidance of doubt, the story that Pastor Umo Eno and Amb. Assam Assam, SAN visited a certain Prophet and offered him hefty cash and a Sports Utility Vehicle for a favourable prophesy is complete falsehood crafted by an evil mind. Indeed, it is a figment of the writer’s imagination and a big lie from the pit of hell.
The incident never happened and will never happen because such an act is at variance with the character and personal convictions of Pastor Umo Eno. This is cheap propaganda taken too far and we urge the purveyors of this fake news to cease and desist.
The Pastor Umo Eno; we know, will not be distracted by wicked rumours such as this, and is supremely focused on working hard alongside other like-minded organisations to win the party’s ticket, and by the grace of God, also clinch victory at the gubernatorial poll.
We are convinced that Pastor Eno is way ahead of the rest in terms of past performances in the private sector and short stint in the public sector, and has the can-do spirit required for the tough job of Governor.
His expertise and experience to take our state to great heights are also making many opponents jittery and we have no apologies for this sterling track record.
We are committed to an issue-based, peaceful campaign, based on our philosophy that all power belongs to God and He only can decide who to hand it to.
We abhor this sort of amateurish and desperate measures in any shape or form.
Pastor Umo Eno throughout his consultation and endorsement events has been very civil, emphasizing his commitment to connecting the dots from the past to the present, furthering peace and prosperity while seeking to create job opportunities for our youths, supporting SMEs and enhancing rural development.
He will not be distracted by cheap blackmail and outright falsehood aimed at disparaging his hard-earned reputation and character.
