rumours…:-). Mallam Umar Sani is the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice
President on Media and Publicity. See his statement below..
I read with dismay a report involving one actress, Nkiru Sylvanus
and myself. The story catalogued my supposed relationship with the actress and
that I bought her a house in Abuja and chain of cars, and also instrumental to
her being appointed as SSA Lagos Liaison officer, when it was evident that she
was not from Imo State but Abia.
want to clearly state that I have never bought her a house and neither have I
ever bought her a car. These, obviously, are the figments of the imagination of
the reporter who chose to file his report without a by-line.
Let me state that I did not, and have never
approached Rochas Okorocha either personally or by proxy to help in engaging
the said Nkiru Sylvanus, as she’s no stranger to the governor whom she has
worked for his success at the polls.
We are aware of a conspiracy by entertainment
journalists, especially of Imo extraction that are against her appointment to
always pursue in line that will lead to her disengagement in the service of the
state they claim was not hers. It should also be stressed that a governor has
the right to select whoever he wishes to work with provided the person will
help him achieve his objectives of service delivery to his state
Half truths and outright lies to juxtapose
fiction upon twisted facts will only help in confusing people the more rather
than serve the purpose for which it was intended which is to slander the
couple.
