Son of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, Emeka Ojukwu Jr. has said that President Muhammad Buhari is right about his father’s wish for a united Nigeria.

He denounced as fake news, reports that his father was not in agreement with patriotic Nigerians on the issue of unity as opposed to the secession of Biafra.

In a statement issued on Wednesday and made available to journalists in Awka, Ojukwu Jr. said his late father held the said meeting with Buhari before his demise, adding that all that Buhari said in his nationwide broadcast were true.

“It has been brought to my attention that there is an article making the rounds on social media attributed to me refuting the remarks of Mr. President concerning his relationship and discussions with my late father.



“Let me lend my voice to those of the rest of my fellow countrymen and welcome Mr. President back home.

“Let me state the following categorically; firstly, that I made no such comments to anybody, and secondly that I am aware that His Excellency’s comments were indeed factual.

“I have noticed a disturbing trend recently of fake news being attributed to me on social media. I don’t know who is behind it or what their motivation might be, but let me assure you that any time I feel the need to comment publicly on any matter, I will not do so via some anonymous email or anything of the like, rather be rest assured that there will be no ambiguity whatsoever as to whether the comments came from me.

While calling on members of the public to discountenance the stories in the social media or any media platform, Ojukwu Jr. urged the President not to take such comments serious as it smacks of gutter and yellow media reportage aimed at overheating the polity.
