Our attention has been drawn to Daily Sun publication of 10th September, 2008, page 39 in which our council chairman granted your organisation an interview. After careful examinations of the caption, presentation and sylogism herein I wish to state that the publication was made three months after the interview was granted and the script was never returned to the council chairman for clarification even as the publication was made belatedly.

Aside this, the time the interview was published, the chairman and his over one million supporters who had been in the ANPP had decamped to PDP on 30th June 2008 at a ceremony inaugurating Udenu local government chapter of the party-PDP executive by the state PDP chairman, Engr. Vitta Abba.

The Ogbodu Aba road project was started because of the need to open up the area for the ruralities to have access to the urban market which in turn will increase the IGR of the council and not that some women organisations pledged to ‘partner with the chairman on the road rehabilitation exercise as alluded, in the publication.

The number of deaths along the Obollo Eke/Obollo Afor round about did not occasion the construction of the round about but the construction of bumps along the said routes.
In the face of the above, the council is greatly worried about this negative perspective which your organisation had portrayed the chairman and his administration.
We also wish to state that the correct names of the Udenu L.G.A chairman are Dr. Ignatius Eze and not Odo.

We are partners in business and we wish it to remain as much as that so that democracy will come to stay in our polity.
