Ex VP Namadi Sambo disowns Social Media
Accounts
Former Vice President, Arc Mohammed Namadi Sambo, GCON has
described as “mischievous and unsolicited” posts made on Facebook
and other social media accounts purportedly in his name by unknown
persons.
In a statement personally signed by the former Nigeria’s Vice
President, Sambo said “My attention has been drawn to unsolicited
acts by some unscrupulous political jobbers that have sponsored and
spread messages on Facebook and other social media platforms,
purported conveying messages from my person.”
The statement further quoted Sambo as saying “I wish to make it
public that the said messages are clearly the handiwork of
mischief-makers, who are bent on creating confusion and
disaffection to overheat the polity with the aim of achieving their
selfish political motives and to bring my personality to disrepute.
For the avoidance of doubt, I do not own or operate any social
media account on any Facebook or any platform.”
“For the record, the general public should note that I have
never made any post, sponsored or ask anyone to do so on my behalf,
directly or indirectly. I have never delegated anyone to design and
or circulate the any post on Facebook or any social media
platforms.”
“I have taken steps to report the account to the management of
Facebook as well as to alert relevant security agencies to monitor
and track those behind this dreadful activity for prosecution,”
Sambo cautioned.
He then urged Nigerians to be patriotic and be cautious of fake
news and hate speech that pervades the social media in this
age.
