Governor David Umahi has debunked a rumour-making round on the media that his convoy was involved in a fatal crash along the Muhammad Buhari International Airport Road, Onueke on Tuesday.
Governor Umahi dismissed the rumour through a press release issued by his Special Assistant on Media and Strategy, Chooks Oko on Tuesday.
The release which was forwarded to the NATIONAL PANEL newsdesk read in parts: "The attention of the Executive Governor of Ebonyi state has been drawn to a most malicious rumour making the rounds that his convoy was involved in a fatal crash along the Muhammadu Buhari International Airport Road, Onueke.
"Not only is this a satanic conjecture, but it is also false, misleading and an attempt to cast a slur on the smooth commissioning of projects going on in the state.
"For the avoidance of doubt, the Governor's convoy was not involved in any kind of crash or anything related to it.
"While there was a crash of a Toyota Sienna vehicle with a motorcycle along that road, the Governor's convoy was nowhere near the incident.
"The general public is thus enjoined to disregard the fake news."
