Chairman, Ughelli North Local Government Council, in Delta State, Olorogun (Barr.) Jaro Movudu Egbo, KSC, has reacted to what he described as cyber bullying, libelous and fake news spread by Mr. Ovoke Akpobasa and his cohorts.

He added: “Skyviaro Properties Development Company Limited is not a registered contractor with the Local Government, has not been awarded any contract, and is not personally owned or operated by me. I resigned from any involvement with the said company, and there has been no breach of due process or statutory guidelines in any contract awards under my administration.”
Adding: “Should this orchestrated smear campaign persist, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against him and his employer the Delta State Government in my personal capacity.”
Continuing, he said that he remains steadfast in his commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance,” while stating that “a thorough and objective review of this matter will expose the baseless nature of these allegations.”
“Let it be known that I will not be deterred by falsehood and character assassination. My focus remains on delivering effective governance and upholding the principles of integrity and service to the people,” he averred.
Speaking further Egbo, said that his 10-month-old administration is committed to completing ongoing projects in the local government area.
These projects, he said include the renovation of his office and that of the vice chairman, leader of the house, S.L.G, H.P.M and the total renovation of the councilors’ offices and council secretariat.
