Governor Nyesom Wike has denied sponsoring the Niger Delta Avengers militant group as alleged by a report from Sahara Reporters.
“Our attention has been drawn to yet another false media propaganda being circulated by the paid official false agents of All Progressives Congress, APC, wherein they claimed that Rivers State governor, Mr Wike, is one of the sponsors of the militant group, Niger Delta Avengers," a statement released on Sunday by the Rivers government said.
“We unequivocally deny this false report fabricated by the online medium, with the aim of diverting attention from Governor Wike’s superlative performance. Any close observer of the APC propaganda machine, where this particular online medium play an ignoble role, would have noticed that all they do is concoct lies about Rivers State.
"This falsehood may not be unconnected with Governor Wike’s speech at the just concluded conference of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, where he publicly declared that he and other stakeholders in the state have prevented militant groups from sabotaging oil installations as is the case elsewhere.
He said Sahara Reporters wasn't happy about this and resolved to "concoct another ill-conceived report to mislead the public."
“Nigerians already know this online medium and what they represent," it concluded.
