Sen T.A. Orji debunks fraud allegations

Former Governor Theodore Orji of Abia State has debunked a publication that falsely accused him of fraudulent activities in connection with Effdee Nigeria Limited.

Senator Orji, in a statement from his liaison office, described the report as a deliberate attempt to smear his hard-earned reputation.

According to the former governor, the publication was riddled with falsehoods, saying that it is “baseless” and “malicious,” He stated that the authors failed to conduct proper fact-checking.

A major misleading part of the report was the claim that “Senator Orji served as Governor in 2016 and 2017, whereas his tenure ended in May 2015.”

The governor also dismissed as false any associations between Senator Orji and Uchenna Erondu or Austin Akuma, emphasising that neither individual had any role in his administration.

Senator Orji  denied any knowledge of, or connection to Effdee Nigeria Limited – the company wrongly linked to him in the report.

“This publication is not only false but also maliciously intended to damage Senator Orji’s hard-earned reputation. He is a man known for his integrity and dedication to public service,” the statement read.

Senator Orij demanded a full retraction of the story across all platforms where it was published, including major national newspapers and online outlets.
