DTHA Member, Omonade dissociates himself from online report disparaging Oborevwori, Assembly
Matthew Onojighofia Omonade, Esq, the member representing Ughelli North One Constituency, has dissociated himself from online report disparaging the state government led by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori over his suspension from the State Assembly.
Omonade in a disclaimer statement he entitled “RE: OMONADE’S SUSPENSION: WHO’S STILL DISPUTING DELTA IS UNDER CHOKE OF A KINDERGARTEN GOVT?”, expressed displeasure that people could deploy toxic machinations to play politics with the current situation.
The statement reads “I read with deep consternation an online article on spadenigeria.com written by one Zik Gbemre on May 27, 2024 titled “Omonade’s Suspension: Who’s Still Disputing Delta is Under Choke of a Kindergarten Govt?”, in which he sold a wrong and toxic thought on the internal conflict we had in Delta State House of Assembly. As lawmakers, it is inevitable to experience internal issue which are also meant to be resolved in the House.
“I want to state categorically and in very clear terms that I, Hon. Matthew Onojighofia Omonade, member representing the good people of Ughelli North Constituency 1, did not at any time, or at any meeting – be it online or offline- authorize any member of the public to write an article or a column on the above subject. Nobody should deploy toxic machinations to play politics with the current situation. I am a man of peace who seeks the best for my people.
“I wish to re-emphasise that whatever narrative the writer has pushed to the public domain is nothing but MERE SPECULATIONS, which to me, are unhealthy. In other words, Zik Gbemre’s opinion in that article does not represent my sentiments and/or the TRUE position of things. As I had emphasized earlier, I am a pacifist, and would always take healthy, legitimate steps to handle issues.
“Zik Gbemre does not have any mutual relationship with me, and did not have any conversation with me before ventilating this wrong message to the unsuspecting public. I have NEVER met him in person or spoken to him in my entire life. I expected him to have first reached out to me, to know the true state of things.
“I am committed to working with my colleagues for the greater good of Deltans. So, whatever inspired Gbemre’s tirade does not reflect my humane disposition to issues.
I appreciate all those that consistently reached out to me. All is well”, Omonade stated.
