Chukwunenye Nwaogu Alajemba, the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Alex Otti on homeland security, has officially rejected recent news reports that claimed he had resigned from his position.
In a statement released on Saturday, Alajemba expressed his dismay over the news, asserting that it was fabricated by a publisher with the intent of creating a rift between him and Governor Otti and misinforming the people of Abia.
The unverified reports of Alajemba’s resignation began circulating on social media on Saturday morning, alleging that he had stepped down immediately. These reports also suggested that the governor’s aide attributed his decision to the governor’s purported autocratic style of governance.
However, in a prompt response to the media, the Senior Special Assistant disassociated himself from the news, characterizing it as both absurd and baseless. He reaffirmed his loyalty to Governor Alex Otti, emphasizing that Otti remained his boss, friend, and a true leader.
Alajemba emphasized, “I want to emphatically refute this claim as it has no connection to me. The Governor of Abia State is a genuine leader who has mentored me with grace, and he continues to serve Abia State and Nigeria selflessly with enthusiasm, patriotism, and integrity.”
He further highlighted that the publisher behind the false post was a shameless troublemaker who was completely disconnected from the facts of his life, even misrepresenting the country where he resides. He questioned how such an individual could have accurate information about his personal matters.
Alajemba urged the people of Abia to dismiss the fake news of his resignation, denouncing it as an attempt to tarnish the reputations of Governor Alex Otti and himself. He expressed his intent to return to Nigeria shortly to fulfill his duties on behalf of the Governor and the people of Abia State.
