Former Governor of Abia State, Senator Theodore Orji, has picked holes a recent publication that falsely accused him of fraudulent activities in connection with Effdee Nigeria Limited.
Senator Orji,in a statement,decried the report as a deliberate attempt to smear his enviable reputation.
The publication, he said, was filled with falsehoods, describing same same as baseless and malicious.
Accusing its authors of failing to conduct proper fact-checking, the former Governor said one of the glaring inaccuracies cited in the statement was the claim that he served as Governor in 2016 and 2017—despite his tenure ending in May 2015.
The statement also dismissed as false any associations between Senator Orji and Mr. Uchenna Erondu or Mr. Austin Akuma, emphasising that neither individual had any role in his administration.
He further denied any knowledge of, or connection to, Effdee Nigeria Limited – the company wrongly linked to him in the report.
“This publication is not only false but also maliciously intended to damage Senator Orji’s hard-earned reputation. He is a man known for his integrity and dedication to public service,” the statement read.
Orij is seeking a full retraction of the story across all platforms where it was published.
