The chairman of the Prince Shuaibu Abubakar Audu Foundation, (PSAAF), Prince Idoko Daniel Ogacheko has asked the public to disregard fake information making the round about the Minister of Steal Development Hon. Shuaibu Audu.
Daniel Idoko while addressing Newsmen in Lokoja on the castigation on the personality of the Honourable Minister said the minister is busy with the National assignment and cannot entertain distractions from fake and faceless individuals.
“It beats my imagination to see some faceless individuals making unguarded statements and spurious allegations about the person of the Hon. Minister of Steel Development, Alh. Prince Shuaibu Abubakar Audu could only emanate from the figment of their imagination.”
The Minister who is poised to sustain his father’s legacy and surpass it will not do anything inimical to the progress of Igala land, Kogi state, and Nigeria as a whole.
Ogacheko pointed out that Prince Shuaibu Audu’s major assignment of industrializing Nigeria through the Steel sector and making it the economic hub of Africa is sacrosanct and will do everything possible to make it a reality in line with the renewed hope agenda of Mr President, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
“It should be noted that as a member of the APC, he has the freedom of association to attend meetings that would advance the course of the party and bring development to his people.”
“I expect his kinsmen to rally around him with huge support and prayers to see him accomplish his goals instead of maligning and castigating him. He is not aware of any letter or email written to the President concerning the Kogi election Tribunal that is ongoing and any such baseless rumors by this faceless group should be disregarded.”
“I enjoin people to always fact-check whatever information is at their disposal to verify its veracity before forwarding such to any group or platform. He remains committed and refuses to be distracted by these enemies of progress.” he added.
“Recall that the Udama Igala Organization worldwide has issued a stern warning to Minister of Steel, Shaibu Audu urging him to dedicate his efforts to his ministerial duties and to refrain from disseminating misinformation to President Ahmed Tinubu concerning the Igala community.”
“This admonishment came to light following allegations that Audu had sent an email to President Tinubu, purportedly advocating on behalf of the Igala community for the cessation of the ongoing Kogi election tribunal.”
“The organization expressed its dismay over Audu’s attempts to influence the presidency to derail the election tribunal process in Kogi State.”
The chairman therefore warned rumor mongers to desist from faking the public on the hard-earned reputation of the Honourable Minister adding that, his elevation remains an act of divinity and cannot be fathomed out by Man.
