Barrister Chijioke Onyeneke has firmly dissociated himself from a viral publication circulating across social media platforms that claimed he had emerged as the Nigerian Democratic Congress candidate for Owerri Federal Constituency.
In a clear and categorical disclaimer issued by his Media and Public Affairs Team, Onyeneke stated that the report was neither authored, approved, nor released by him or any of his official communication channels.
The statement described the publication as misleading and unauthorized, urging the public, political stakeholders, and media organisations to completely disregard it.
According to his team, no formal communication regarding any candidacy or political position has been issued from his office, warning that individuals behind the viral post are attempting to create confusion within the political space.
It further stressed that only statements released through verified and officially designated platforms should be regarded as authentic representations of Onyeneke’s position.
Reaffirming his stance, Onyeneke maintained his commitment to transparency, lawful political engagement, and due process, assuring supporters that any genuine political updates would be communicated through appropriate and credible channels.
