Abia Deputy Governor Emetu Denies Youth Recruitment Claims
The Office of the Deputy Governor of Abia State, Ikechukwu Emetu, has categorically denied allegations made by the Abia State chapter of the Tinubu Support Group. The group accused Emetu of recruiting and mobilizing youths to attack supporters of President Bola Tinubu and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement from Chief Press Secretary Sir Cyril Mba, Emetu was said to have no involvement in any such activities. The Deputy Governor challenged the Tinubu Support Group to provide evidence of the alleged recruitment, including details of meetings, identities of the youths involved, and any statements attributed to him regarding President Tinubu.
Emetu's office called for the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to investigate the allegations, asserting that he is willing to cooperate fully. The statement emphasized the need for responsible political engagement rather than unsubstantiated claims, highlighting Emetu's focus on his duties and support for Governor Alex Otti's administration.
