Director of New Media, PDP Campaign Council for Rivers State Governorship Election and former Commissioner for Information, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari has dissociated herself from a widely circulated malicious story credited to her against Dumo Lulu-Briggs, governorship candidate of the Accord Party, in the Rivers State.
This
statement comes on the heel of a maligning editorial labeling Lulu-Briggs as a
serial gambler, who is not fit to be governor of Rivers State.
Semenitari,
in a statement made available to the press, and signed by her, advised the
public to disregard such mischief of a publication, stating that Lulu-Briggs is
someone with whom she shares history, regardless of difference in their
political ideologies.
Her
statement reads in part,
"My
phone has been inundated with calls. I do not write maliciously. Never have and
never will. I also do not want to repeat a matter that libels or labels anyone
because anyone in communication knows that this will keep the matter on the
front burner. I will not do that to someone I do not know not to mention a
person with whom I share history. I would have been silent but that may send
the wrong signals," she noted.
While
expressing shock over the false publication attributed to her, Semenitari
further noted that regardless of her preference for candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Siminalayi Fubara in the coming governorship election, she
however, believes every candidate reserves rights to contest and vote in a
democracy.
"I
have the utmost regard for everyone in the race. I have my preferences but
believe in the right of every candidate to be respected. I will not malign
anyone. It is pointless. We are one
people and will continue to engage in this same space, "Semenitari
submitted.
