“Now, another lie from the pit of hell has emerged, claiming that I said ‘I’m from Gabon, I’m not a Nigerian’.

“I hereby issue a disclaimer dissociating myself from that lie. I am a full-blooded Nigerian.

“Both of my parents are Nigerians. I am from Enugu State, the Coal City State. I am proudly Nigerian; and, I am equally proud of my Nigerian heritage.

“God Almighty will deal with whoever originated that lie as He deems fit.”
