****Says, mischief makers bent on discrediting her doctored video of LP activity six weeks ago
The senator representing the Federal Capita Territory has expressed shock and outrage over the blatant lies and misinformation being spread by mischief-maker that she was caught sponsoring the EndBadGovernnance protest as captured in a video that has been trending
This is coming against the backdrop that the Federal Capital Territory FCT Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, alleged on Thursday that a senator was sponsoring anti-government protests in Abuja.
A statement by the Senior Special Assisant on Media to the Senator, Kennedy Mbele quoted Senator Kingibe to have said,
“I am shocked and outraged by the blatant lies and misinformation being spread by mischief-makers! The video being circulated is from over six weeks ago, during a Labour Party NWC meeting, when the NLC was protesting outside the Labour Party office.
“As stakeholders, including Senators, House of Reps members, and Mr. Peter Obi, we went out to engage with the protesters and address their concerns. Now, these deceitful individuals are trying to pass off this old footage as current, claiming that Mr. PeterObi
and I are leading protests in Abuja yesterday.
“This is a malicious and desperate attempt to discredit us. Let me set the record straight: Mr. Peter Obi is not in Abuja, and I haven’t left my house since Wednesday due to illness, much less distributed food and water at the protest grounds, though that would be noble for whoever did.
“I condemn this orchestrated attempt to spread falsehoods and cause confusion, using it as the basis to claim I sponsored the Abuja protest. It is a shameless and irresponsible act that will not be tolerated. We will not stand idly by while our names and reputations are dragged through the mud by these unscrupulous individuals. ”
