Media Aide to Sir Dr Emeka told newsmen in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital that Sir Offor rarely meddle into trivialities let alone ganging up against his kinsman, Nnamdi Kanu.
“It is common knowledge that Sir Dr Emeka Offor seldom grants interviews or engage in
media/press statements except when issues dealing with the activities of his charitable
and non-governmental Foundation – Sir Emeka Offor Foundation (SEOF) are involved.
“However, it has become necessary in the present circumstances to state categorically that there is absolutely no truth in these allegations made and perpetuated by uninformed mischief makers whose only desire is to malign and bring Sir Dr Emeka to disrepute”.
“For the records, Sir Emeka Offor Foundation has been engaged in helping people in need
become independent and self-sufficient. Since the onset of the global pandemic which has laid waste the financial aspirations of individuals, Organisations and countries, SEOF has made significant and unparalleled interventions in the health and educational sectors of our economy.
“In the last 18 months, SEOF has donated 1. 14 units of 40 feet container-load of Medical Equipment and Supplies to Tertiary Medical Institutions in
Nigeria.
“Built and commissioned Sir (Dr.) Emeka Offor Rotary Hall in the Rotary International
District 9125 Centre Abuja, shortly after making commendable interventions that led to the WHO Certification of Nigeria and indeed Africa as free from Wild PolioVirus, distributed books, computers, educational equipment/materials and accessories to over 80 universities, 22 Polytechnics, 37 Colleges of Education, 180 Primary and Secondary Schools and 7 Public Libraries across the 6 Geopolitical Zones of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory, and ontinuous support to the widows Cooperative Group in Anambra State.
“The foregoing represents the issues that are very important to Sir Dr Emeka Offor. It is on
these matters and his Business that he continues to focus his full attention”.
The statement further stressed the need for people to exercise caution and stop bringing personalities with proven track records of integrity and humanitarian traits into public ridicule and opprobrium
