Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has dismissed reports that he advised Igbo youths to stand with the embattled suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari, currently being investigated by the authorities of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for alleged complicity in drug-related matters, as fake, mischievous and the handiwork of opposition politicians.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser, Oguwike Nwachuku, yesterday, the governor, who described the report as baseless and useless piece of nonsense, said the authors have proven time and again that they work for the opposition politicians, who think that the only way they can play politics in Imo State is to deceive members of the public with imaginary tales around Governor Uzodimma, rather than devote their time to constructive criticisms about government and its programmes.
