Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has said that members of the opposition are gathering in Abuja and other places with the intention of deceiving Abia people with fake news about his administration.
According to him, the members of the opposition have perfected a strategy to churn out fake and sometimes, real documents for propaganda purposes.
Otti stated this at Government House, Umuahia, on Monday while swearing in the Chairman and Deputy Chairmen of the 17 local government areas, together with elected councilors.
Otti, who did not mention the names of the opposition members, however, said that his administration was not afraid of such gatherings, as according to him, previous meetings held by such un-named persons failed and will fail again.
“Let me leave a word for the so-called opposition who are gathering in Abuja and elsewhere with the sole intention to deceive people and distract this government.
“They have perfected a strategy to churn out fake and sometimes real documents for false narratives and propaganda.
“Just like the Bible assures, because these gatherings are not of God, they will scatter. Do not take Abia people for granted.
“You have done this before and failed. What makes you think you will succeed this time given all the transformation that has happened in this state in less than 18 months? A word is enough for the wise,” Otti warned.
