My attention has been drawn to an Appointment Letter making the rounds in the social media purportedly issued by the senator representing Rivers East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Andrew Uchendu, to Mfata ThankGod Mfata, confirming his appointment as his "Senatorial Media Aide".

For the record, I hereby state as follows:

1. That as a senator, Senator Andrew Uchendu is statutorily entitled to only five Aides, namely:

A. Senior Legislative Aide (Rev. Nnodim Samuel Elekwa)
B. Legislative Aide (Solomon Okocha)
C. Legislative Assistant (Tobins Soala Iyiowu)
D. Personal Assistant (Chinanum Adum)
E. Secretary (Justina Chikwe)

2. That these Aides were appointed by the National Assembly Service Commision (NASC), and not by Senator Andrew Uchendu.

3. That his Legislative Aide, Solomon Okocha, who also serves as his only official Media Aide, nominated and engaged four persons to assist him carry out social media functions within the Senatorial District.

4. That these persons namely: Precious Awuse, Solomon Erim, Mfata ThankGod Mfata, Barr. Chizy Enyi, are being paid monthly allowances by the Senior Legislative Aide, Rev. Nnodim Elekwa, to work directly under Solomon Okocha, the official Media Aide.

5. That the stipends being given to the aforementioned persons were approved by Solomon Okocha only for data subscription allowances and transport fares but not as salaries.

6. That the general public can bear witness that only Solomon Okocha signs off all Senator Uchendu's Press Statements in the media (Radio, Televison, National Newspapers, Social Media etc) as his official Media Aide.

7. That this clarification has become necessary because of the wanton misrepresentation of facts with regards to the said Appointment Letter on the social media, particularly by Senator Uchendu's traducers, with the intention to paint him in a bad light and score cheap political points.

The public is hereby strongly advised to disregard whatever information that runs contrary to the facts presented above.

SIGNED:

Rev. Nnodim Samuel Elekwa
Senior Legislative Aide to Senator Andrew Uchendu
Rivers East Senatorial District

September 14, 2018

Cc: Solomon Okocha
Legislative Aide to Senator Andrew Uchendu
