The immediate past Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano, has denied ownership of a five star hotel being constructed in Asaba, Delta State.
A video of the very expansive project surfaced on Facebook on Monday and trended heavily on the Anambra social media space, with many condemning the former governor and accusing him of looting the state.
But in a reaction by his publicist, Mr Tony Nezianya, Obiano denied owning the project, attributing the video to mischief makers.
Obiano, reacting through Nezianya, said: ‘This is the hallmark of detractors out there to embarrass me and what I stand for.
‘I do not own such a property, and I have no plans either now or in the future for such a property.
‘I do not have knowledge of this property. I am not in any way connected to it. This can become a disservice to claim a property that belongs to someone else.
‘It is baffling that someone sits at home to conjure this blatant falsehood just to cast aspersion at an innocent fellow,’ the release read.
Meanwhile some other social media users have since identified the project as belonging to another influential Anambra indigene who is into transport.
