The media office of Enugu State Governoship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Barr Peter Mbah has debunked reports alleging assassination of the flag bearer.
A statement signed by media Officer Dan Nwomeh described the story as false, wicked and evil.
It read: We have been inundated with calls over a fake news in circulation on some social media platforms on the purported assassination of the Enugu State PDP governorship flag bearer, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah.
Our investigations indicate that the story was doctored from the video of the unfortunate gruesome assassination of one Dr. Ndubuisi (real name: Professor Samuel Ndubuisi), the Director General of the Science and Equipment Development Institute (SEDI), along the Enugu Port Harcourt expressway, two years ago.
It is the mere coincidence of “Ndubuisi” in the two names that has been twisted by some devious and malevolent characters to spread unfounded panic and alarm amongst our genuinely concerned teeming supporters and well-wishers in Enugu State and beyond.
We condemn this wicked, ill-conceived misinformation and urge the masterminds to play politics of moderation and sportsmanship, have the fear of God and develop respect for the sanctity of human life.
