Senate President Godswill Obot Akpabio, has debunked a malicious and fabricated social media post falsely quoting him as attacking U.S. President Donald Trump over his recent threat to intervene in Nigeria to end alleged Christian genocide.
The post, published by Rant HQ, quoted Akpabio as saying, “The killing is taking place in Nigeria not in USA, Trump should focus on US. Nigerians are not complaining about the killings, we are fully satisfied with the condition of Nigeria.”
In a statement, Akpabio’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Eseme Eyiboh, described the post as “a total falsehood, a product of mischief, and a desperate attempt to incite misunderstanding” between Akpabio and Trump, as well as between Nigeria and its international partners. Eyiboh challenged the publishers to produce evidence to support their claims, warning that “freedom of expression is not freedom to lie.”
