Engr. Bashiru Sets Records Straight, Describes Omera Ugbede Opaluwa’s Publication As Misleading,
misrepresentation.
My attention has been drawn to a misleading publication by one Omera Ugbede Opaluwa, which attempts to distort my statements and create unnecessary controversy. I must clarify that Omera’s claims are far removed from the content of the video.
In the video, I expressed concerns about the potential consequences of ignoring former Governor Yahaya Bello’s influence in Kogi State, given his significant impact on the state’s political landscape. My words were not about Faleke or any individual but rather about the potential repercussions of underestimating FGYB’s clout.
The video was a direct message to those who have misconstrued the endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term as insensitive or for show. I urge the general public to understand that it is a genuine expression of support for PBAT’s vision and leadership. We believe in his ability to continue driving our nation’s progress.
Finally, I advise Omera Ugbede Opaluwa to exercise restraint and professionalism in his social media engagements. Sensationalism and misrepresentation can have far-reaching consequences. Let’s focus on constructive dialogue and nation-building.
