Govs Amosun, Shettima Disclaim Trending Phone Conversation

Governors Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State and his Borno State counterpart, Kashim Shettima have disclaimed the phony conversation purported initiated by Governors Amosun.

The said ‘phone conversation’ has been trending on social media, indicating Amosun congratulating Shettima.

Other issues discussed in the twenty minutes and thirty eight seconds telephone conversation included the current Biafran agitation.

According to the Ogun State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Otunba Dayo Adeneye, in a statement made available to Elombah.com, the alleged conversation never took place.

Otunba Adeneye said that the voice in the forgery which they paraded as that of Governor Amosun is not that of His Excellency.

He noted that a simple search on the internet for any speech by His Excellency would convince anyone not familiar with his voice that the audio recording is fake.

He said: “The peddlers of such falsehood appear to have a wild scheme which appears to be part of what may be turning out to be the wider script, by some unpatriotic elements,  aimed at further causing divisions in Nigeria.  

“It is meant to feed into, as well as further exacerbate the already highly combustible wave of agitation in the land. 

“This evil plot will not work. 

“Indeed this is not the first time some unpatriotic and vile individuals would spread falsehood about the person of Governor Amosun.

“Governor Amosun is committed to peaceful co-existence of all groups in Nigeria and will not engage in conversations that would threaten the peace and unity of Nigeria. 

“He therefore counseled politicians and other public office seekers to play politics without bitterness and dwell more on things that unite us rather than those that seek to divide us.”

Governor Kashim Shettima also disclaimed the phony conversation, saying it never existed.
