The Imo State deputy governor, Prof. Placid Njoku, has dismissed reports of his resignation, urging Imo people and the public to disregard it as it is fake news.

According to the spokesman of the former Vice-Chancellor: “This story has no iota of truth in it but is a mere figment of the imaginations of those working against the Government and people of Imo state

“The Imo State Deputy Governor, His Excellency Prof. Placid Njoku enjoys a robust working relationship with his boss, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, Executive Governor of Imo State and indeed with every member of the state executive council, including members of the state legislature.”
