Rivers State Deputy Governor, Prof Ngozi Odu has dismissed widespread rumours that she has resigned from office.
However, in a statement issued on Wednesday by her Press Secretary, Owupele Benebo, the deputy governor categorically denied the reports, insisting that she remains fully committed to her duties.
The statement reads, “The Office of the Deputy Governor of Rivers State wishes to categorically debunk the false and misleading reports circulating online suggesting that Her Excellency, Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu, DSSRS, has resigned.
“Contrary to these baseless claims, Her Excellency remains committed to her duties as Deputy Governor, a position she was duly elected to serve alongside His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, the Executive Governor of Rivers State.”
Describing her as a seasoned public servant and academic, the statement further highlighted her dedication to the administration’s vision and her ongoing contributions to governance and policy implementation in the state.
The Office of the Deputy Governor therefore urged the public to disregard the viral reports, labeling them as malicious speculation aimed at misleading the people.
