ABIA ASSEMBLY SPEAKER CONTRADICTS HIS CPS, DENIES WALKING ANY JOURNALIST OUT OF PRESS BRIEFING

Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Emeruwa, is claiming that he didn’t send out any journalist from a press briefing at the Assembly’s conference hall in Umuahia.

Emeruwa who denied the reports described it as false and unfounded, intended to create dis affection between his office and journalists in the state.

This is contrary to a statement earlier released by his chief Press Secretary, Ujoh Okechukwu who had claimed that the spacious capacity of the conference room doesn't allow accommodation of much persons hence the speaker decided to reduce the number of journalists for the media parley.

He also said that only journalists earlier accredited and names of their media outfits submitted to the security personnel were allowed in.

It should be noted that ENYIMBA FM Umuahia correspondent had been accredited to cover the House of assembly since May 2023.
