Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma has denied reports of his plan to rename the state’s university after President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari who died of coronavirus complications on Friday April 17 and buried at Gudu cementery in Abuja on Saturday April 18.
Meridian Spy had reported yesterday Monday the Imo State governor said he plans to rename the state-owned Imo State University after the late Chief of Staff to the President, Kyari.
According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Oguwuike Nwachuku, Uzodinma said Kyari played a pivotal role in the liberation of Imo State. Adding that ‘no gesture is too big for a man who died as a patriot’.
But Uzodinma labelled the report as fake, saying that it was circulated by those in opposition parties in his state to create mischief, disaffection and distract his administration.
He completely dissociated himself from the report and said it was totally falsehood as neither him nor his media aide had anything to do with them.
The governor further said it was regrettable that while everyone was poised to fight COVID-19 and make Imo stand tall, an opposition party was busy plotting how to blackmail the government.
