Falsehoods, distortions wont deter us -Uduaghan

The attention of the Delta State Government has been drawn to a publication by a so-called Delta Youth For Progressive Change in which the Governor, Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan is portrayed as engaging in a lurid act. A similar portraiture has been circulating on Facebook in the past few weeks.

Our initial reaction when the picture first made its debut on the internet was to dismiss it as the filthy imagination of a demented mind. But the circulation of the same picture in the form of a handbill by a faceless group known as Delta Youth For Progressive Change merely confirms our worst fears about the desperation of the so-called opposition in the state.

We wish to state that the said portrayal of His Excellency, the Governor of Delta State, either on the internet or in the said publication is a cheap and lazy attempt at creating an event that did not hold in the first place. It is merely a fabrication achieved deploying tools of photoshop.

But it must be pointed out that our enemies have resorted to the use of a caricature in their desperate bid to distort facts and use same to deceive the people of Delta State. What they do not know is that the people are not as gullible as their infantile and demented minds imagine.

Deltans know that their amiable governor is God fearing and does not engage in acts capable of standing the social mores on its head. They also know that Dr Uduaghan does not wear jewellery such as necklace as part of his costume or dress code. They are therefore not persuaded by the picture and the vain attempt to misinform the public.
We challenge the author(s) of the portraiture to disclose the venue, place and time where the event held. We also dare them to publish the names of others at the event as well as their pictures. Giving that they seek to pass the picture as genuine we expect them to be creative enough as to invent a non-existing scenario as they want us to believe.

Let it be told to our detractors that we are not in any way moved by their cheap blackmail, falsehood and outright distortion of facts. Truth does not quiver before cowards. And we are resolute in our determination to make truth the hallmark of our campaigns. But we know that our enemies thrive and worship only on the altar of lies.
