A development that has been hailed by most Igbo leaders and Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>But a section of the media, apparently sponsored by suspected Imo state govt opposition, had reported that the Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma criticized the ruling of the Court of Appeal, saying \u201cthe Court didn\u2019t take into consideration the impact of its judgement, saying \u201cThe insecurity in Imo was as a result of Nnamdi Kanu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, In a swift reaction, the Imo govt described the report quoting the governor to have said \u201cThe insecurity in Imo was as a result of Nnamdi Kanu,\u201d as the activities of an established syndicate with the sole aim of manufacturing fake news and maliciously crediting same to the Governor and Government of Imo State, urging the public to disregard the attempt to maliciously discredit the Imo governor from the good works of providing dividends of democracy to citizens of Imo.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement made available to Vanguard, the Imo govt said those behind the fake news are advised to desist from the practice as the 3R Government is focused on delivering transformational policies and programmes to the Imo people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has come to our knowledge, the activities of an established syndicate with the sole aim of manufacturing fake news and maliciously crediting same to the Governor and Government of Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe objective of this group is not far-fetched as they struggle to discredit Governor Hope Uzodimma who is committed to the governance of Imo State and the wellbeing of Ndi Imo and Ndi Igbo in general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe false publication with the heading \u201cThe release of Nnamdi Kanu by Appeal Court is not a good one for Nigerians, FG should do the needful\u201d DID NOT emanate from the Governor nor the Government of Imo State.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n\u201cThe public is hereby advised to disregard such as it is a product of fake news merchants.
