ROYAL PUBLIC NOTICE
The attention of the Palace of His Royal Majesty, the Asagba of Asaba has been drawn to a publication on a fake Palace letter headed paper purportedly addressing the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress, His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi on the unfortunate incident that occurred in Asaba yesterday during NDC’s campaign rally.
The Palace of His Royal Majesty, the Asagba of Asaba wishes to inform the general public that the said letter did not emanate from the throne and utterly condenms such malicious and despicable act which is believed to be the handiwork of political jobbers.
His Royal Majesty had earlier granted a press conference where he made the position of the palace very clear. His Royal Majesty in his Press Conference, condenmed the acts of political intolerance that occurred yesterday as he maintained that Asaba as the most peaceful capital city in Nigeria is against violence of any sort, be it political or otherwise. His Royal Majesty admonished politicians and political parties to respect the wishes of the people at all times while also advising political parties to seek adequate security protection before engaging in any rally or peace protest.
Therefore, the false narrative that HRM berates Mr. Peter Obi and his political pressure groups for being solely responsible for yesterday’s unrest, using Artificial Intelligence to produce fake palace letterhead and signature shows how desperate some political actors have become and must be nipped in the bud by the appropriate quarters.
Finally, the palace urges media persons and members of the public to disregard the said publication and place no value on it as both the letter headed paper and the signature therein are fake.
Chief Barr. Philips E. Nwokolo
Chief of Staff to the Palace of His Royal Majesty, the Asagba of Asaba.
