The suspended Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Professor Ngozi Nma Ordu has denied reports that she has resigned from office.
She spoke via her Head of the Press Unit, Owepele Benibo, who described the reports as “false information from the pit of hell.”
Speaking in a telephone interview, Benibo firmly stated that the Deputy Governor has no intention of resigning, particularly at a time when reconciliation efforts are underway to restore peace in the state.
He urged the public to disregard the “fake news”, assuring that Professor Nma-Ordu remains fully engaged in the administration of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
