Anambra State Government has debunked viral video on social media platforms purporting that Governor Chukwuma Soludo was thrown out of VIP sitting position at the presidential inauguration ceremony.

 

A statement signed by the Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Christian Aburime described the video as very mischievous, misleading and handwork of mischief makers, who derive pleasure in mis-informing the general public.

 

The statement explained that the video showed Governor Soludo, arriving the Eagle Square for the presidential swearing-in ceremony at Abuja and was courteously re-directed by protocol officials to the position rightfully reserved for him at the other side of the VVIPs sitting position.

 

It pointed out that redirecting invited guests to their rightful sitting position is neither an issue nor a condescending act and made clear that Governor Soludo remains one of the few governors that was respectfully honoured and invited officially to attend the presidential swearing-in ceremony.

 

The statement called on the general public to disregard the trending video.
