The immediate past governor of Rivers State, Hon. Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi, has disowned a report which said he was disappointed by not
being appointed as Secretary of the Government of the Federation (SGF)
by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The insisted he never spoke to any media organization .
In a statement released by the former governor’s media office, he
described the story published by an online blog as a tissue of lies,
ridiculous and meaningless.
He said he holds the media in high esteem but may soon be forced to take
action against those who bring the profession of journalism to
disrepute by their deliberate falsehood and malicious reports.
The statement reads in full:
“The attention of former governor of Rivers State Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi has been drawn to a story with the caption SGF: Buhari
Disappointed Me – Amaechi”, published by a certain
“Savinggracereporters.com”.
“The story which is ridiculous as it is
meaningless is a figment of the writer’s imagination and sadly flouts
all the basic rules of journalism biz: fairness, accuracy and balance.
This story like so many others like it is a tissue of lies and fit only
for the trash-can.
“Since after leaving office and with the successful delivery of the change agenda to Nigerians,
“Former
Governor Amaechi has been enjoying a well deserved rest. He hasn’t
found any need to grant any interviews to any journalist or blogger and
so couldn’t have spoken to savinggracereporters.
“Rt. Hon Amaechi
holds the media in high esteem but may soon be forced to take action
against those who bring the profession of journalism to disrepute by
their deliberate falsehood and malicious reports.
“For the sake of
decency and ethical conduct, Rt. Hon. Amaechi therefore demands that the
said savinggracereporters immediately retract the mischief they have on
their website and apologize to their readers for their unprofessional
conduct.
“In this era of reformation and restoration, it is important
that everyone embraces propriety and decorous conduct to enable every
segment of our country join the change train.”
