Former acting governor of Kogi State, chief Clarence Olafemi has described as untrue a media publication that he stole the sum of N3billion.
The former Kogi State Acting Governor in a statement on Wednesday night made available to DAILYPOST vowed to sue the said media organization for defaming his character.
According to Olafemi, within the short period he served the State, he collected less than N3billion as allocation from the federation account.
He demanded for a public apology from the writer.
The statement reads in part “I am surprised that the platform can allow false allegation and call a whole race ‘animal’. Alleging that I, Clarence Olafemi stole 3billion is not only a nicked lie but character assassination, baseless and unfounded.
“I am therefore, demanding a public apology from the writer or we head to court; since I do not know the writer I will sue the news media.
“My total allocation for the two months I served as acting Governor, the total money collected by Government was less than 3billion put together and salaries were paid, projects were embarked upon and I was able to save 400million naira handed over to my successor.
“You might hate me as a person but I take serious exception when touching on my integrity.”
