A statement issued by the Senior Media Aide to the Governor of Anambra State, Daniel Exeigwe described the information as false, adding that the First Lady has not scheduled any visit to Owerre-Ezukala on any undisclosed date.

According to the statement, the first lady has not called on residents or community members to gather at the Okegbe Health Centre to receive her.

“The information is completely false and did not originate from either the Office of the Governor’s Wife or the Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo Initiative.
