The Director, Media & Publicity, Prof Gregory Ibe Campaign Organization, Rev Sleek Ogwo says, a suspended governorship aspirant of All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA Chikwe Udensi lied against Prof. Ibe in a recent radio program in Umuahia.
Ogwo said the lies are “libelous fabrications” which “turned out to be a foiled attempt to deceive his listeners by alleging that Prof Gregory Ibe, the Abia state governorship candidate of APGA presented forged WASCE and NYSC certificates to INEC.”
Ogwo said “Prof Ibe schooled in Methodist High School Ihube from 1978 to 1983 and subsequently obtained the General Certificate of Education (GCE) certification in both Ordinary and Advanced levels.
“He attended Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) between 1995 and 1999 for his Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing, California Coast University Santa Ana USA from 2000 to 2006 for his Masters degree in Health Care Management and PhD in Management respectively.
“Contrary to Sir Udensi’s misleading gibberish Prof Ibe’s alma mater California Coast University Santa Ana is a fully accredited institution of higher learning in the USA, where he spent three years to acquire his PhD certificate in Management and not two years as alleged by the suspended guber aspirant”.
Prof. ibe, he said, secured mandatory exemption certificate from the National Youth Service Corps Scheme (NYSC) on age grounds subsequently.
“The above mentioned certificates and other essential documents chronicling and attesting to the academic acquisitions of Prof Ibe have been deposited with appropriate regulatory agencies as required by law, and are therefore verifiable by all interested parties”, Ogwo maintained.
“Our legal team has been briefed about these baseless and unfounded accusations by Sir Udensi and are currently perfecting documents for litigation on grounds of perjury.
“We are not surprised about this latest antic of a serial loser whose fame in fraudulent activities is legendary, as will soon become public knowledge”, Ogwo said and enjoined Abians to “disregard the lies and jibbering of Sir Udensi, who as a drowning man, is gasping for life while desperately clutching on anything for survival”.
