The Chairman, Senate Committee on Education, Senator Uche Chukwumerije, on Monday faulted the recent rumour of his death, saying he is so much alive.In a statement issued by his Special Assistant, Azuikpe Ogbonna, the Senator said the rumour was the handiwork of “a few ungodly and irresponsible individuals.”An initial report said that after Chukwukerije lost the bid to return to the Senate in 2015 in the primaries that held last week, he slumped.
But reacting, Chukwumerije said, “It has come to our notice that a few ungodly and irresponsible individuals are sponsoring the rumoured demise or incapacitation of our amiable, admirable, adorable and highly responsible Senator.
“This is just one of the various tactics of a prolonged campaign of calumny against the person and office of Distinguished Senator Uche Chukwumerije, orchestrated by these few unscrupulous individuals who have no fear of God in them and will go to any length to blackmail, deceive, short change, loot, kill and destroy the people of God’s own State – Abia just for their selfish political agenda.
“We should have ignored this latest political propaganda, but for the myriad of calls from the good people of Abia North, Abia State, Ndigbo from home and abroad as well as Nigerians from all walks of life, expressing deep concern and anxiety over this uncharitable, callous, unconscionable and mindless rumour.
“We therefore wish to put on record that the Distinguished Senator Uche Chukwumerije is neither dead nor incapacitated by stroke.
“He is very much alive and has already forgiven those behind this rumour as a good father he has always been to his people.
