The Senior Special Assistant to the Imo State Governor on Electronic and Creative Media, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, has clarified that a statement circulating online regarding Afrobeats star, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, was his personal opinion and not that of Governor Hope Uzodimma.

Nwaogwugwu, in a statement issued on Thursday, said the statement was authored by him in his capacity as a private citizen commenting on a topical national issue, and should not have been attributed to the Imo State governor.

He said the attribution had created a wrong impression, urging media platforms and bloggers to correct what he described as a misrepresentation.

“The comments being credited to the Governor by some bloggers are a clear misrepresentation of the facts.

“It is unfortunate that some bloggers chose to attribute the statement to the Governor when it was, in fact, a personal opinion I expressed in my capacity as a private citizen commenting on a topical national issue,” Nwaogwugwu stated.
