Media aide to Anambra state governor, Charles Soludo, Christian Aburime, has denied online reports claiming the governor was denied access into the VIP booth at Tinubu’s inauguration.
A video of a security agent talking to the governor while attempting to enter one of the booths at the inauguration made the rounds earlier today with many claiming the governor was bounced.
In a statement released, Aburime said that contrary to reports, the governor was being redirected by the security agent and not being bounced.
“A very mischievous and misleading video is currently been circulated online by some mischief makers who derive pleasure in misinforming the general public.
The video shows Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, arriving the Eagles Square for the Presidential swearing-in ceremony in Abuja and was subsequently being re-directed courteously by protocols officials to the rightful position reserved for him at the other side of the VVIPs sitting positions.
Redirecting invited guests to their rightful sitting position is neither an issue nor a condescending act for the records, Governor Soludo remains one of the few Governors that was respectfully honoured and invited officially to attend the presidential swearing-in ceremony.
Consequently, we call on the general public to disregard the trending video. It is pure mischief and deliberate act to misinform the public,†the statement read.
