The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Samuel Anyanwu has debunked withdrawing from the November 11 governorship election.
The campaign council of Anyanwu, on Friday, described the report as fake, saying nothing of such happened.
The Director of New Media, Sam Jones Governorship Campaign, Dumebi Ifeanyichukwu, in a statement, noted that there is a malicious video circulating claiming that Anyanwu has withdrawn.
Ifeanyichukwu claimed that the video in circulation was heavily edited with manipulated audio to mislead the public.
He called on the public to ignore such reports ahead of the governorship election in Imo State on Saturday.
The statement reads, “The SamJones Governorship Campaign Council is compelled to address a malicious video circulating, falsely claiming that our esteemed Candidate, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, has withdrawn from the gubernatorial race.
“We emphatically state that this information is categorically FALSE. After a thorough examination of the video, it became evident that it was heavily edited with manipulated audio to mislead the public.
“We call on the General Public to disregard the Video.”
Anyanwu is one of the leading candidates in the race, who is up against incumbent Governor, Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
