The Government of Cross River State has debunked reports of a purported fire incident in the Governor’s Office, Calabar.
A press release signed by Christian Ita, Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to Governor Ben Ayade on Monday night said “there was a small fire incident on a mast within the premises of the Cross River Geographic Information Agency (CRGIA), which shares a fence with the Governor’s Office.”
The release reads thus: “My attention has been drawn to a sensational and misleading report on social media about a purported fire incident in the office of the Governor of Cross River State, Professor Ben Ayade.
“I wish to state without equivocation that no fire incident occurred at Governor Ayade’s office.
“There was a small fire incident on a mast within the premises of the Cross River Geographic Information Agency (CRGIA), which shares a fence with the Governor’s Office.
“Any report to the contrary should please be disregarded and the reports alleging fire outbreak are only mischievous as I insisted when called that the said fire happened behind the glass house which is used mainly for reception purposes, which is quite a distance from the Governor’s Office
building.
The purported fire outbreak in the Governor’s Office is a fabrication of the author of the story whose intention is to cause panic as well as discredit the government of Sir Ben Ayade.
“We are used to this kind of spin, which is aimed at nothing but to create sensation.”
