The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) senatorial district within the Nationwide Meeting, Ireti Kingibe, has denied main or sponsoring the continued #EndBadGovernance protests in Abuja.
Senator Kingibe took to X (previously Twitter) to explain a viral video alleging that she was main the protest in Abuja on Thursday as “misinformation”.
“I’m shocked and outraged by the blatant lies and misinformation being unfold by mischief-makers! The video being circulated is from over six weeks in the past, throughout a Labour Social gathering NWC assembly when the NLC was protesting outdoors the Labour Social gathering workplace,” she mentioned on X.
“As stakeholders, together with Senators, Home of Reps members, and Mr. Peter Obi, we went out to have interaction with the protesters and handle their considerations. Now, these deceitful people try to go off this previous footage as present, claiming that Mr Peter Obi and I had been main protests in Abuja yesterday. This can be a malicious and determined try to discredit us,” she mentioned.
“Let me set the file straight: Mr. Peter Obi will not be in Abuja, and I haven’t left my home since Wednesday as a result of sickness, a lot much less distributed meals and water on the protest grounds, although that might be noble for whoever did. I condemn this orchestrated try to unfold falsehoods and trigger confusion, utilizing it as the premise to assert I sponsored the Abuja protest.
“It’s a shameless and irresponsible act that won’t be tolerated. We is not going to stand idly by whereas our names and reputations are dragged by way of the mud by these unscrupulous people,” the FCT Senator added.
