"PUBLIC APOLOGY AND FULL RETRACTION
My name is Ejike Ofoegbu Experience, the owner and publisher of Igbo Times Magazine and INews.
I wish to offer my deepest and most sincere apology to Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, the Executive Governor of Anambra State, his family, and the general public.
I publicly admit that the stories I published concerning Governor Soludo and his son were completely fake, false, fabricated, and untrue. They did not come from Governor Soludo, his son, his family, or any official representative. They were not based on any verified facts or credible sources and they should never have been presented as news.
The false posts I published included:
* “Breaking News: ‘I will arrest anyone who calls Ozo my son. He is not my son. I disowned him years ago, and he is no longer a member of the Soludo family.’”
* “Just In: I Don’t Take Advice From My Father. He Was a Drunkard Who Beat My Mom When I Was Young. His Treatment of My Mother Made Me Decide Never to Take Advice From Him — ‘Soludo’s Son’ Speaks Out.”
* “Breaking News: ‘I ordered Ozo from Temu. He is Chinese-made, not my son. Even at the hospital when he was born, I asked the doctor, ‘I hope you didn’t accidentally exchange my real son.’ Ozo is from Temu,’ Soludo jokingly told reporters.”
* “Breaking News: ‘They should organize a drinking competition between my father and Wike. I just want to see something. I’m willing to bet my life that my father would win. People don’t understand his drinking capacity.’ — Ozo.”
I state clearly and without reservation that every one of the statements above was fake. They should not be regarded as factual reports or genuine quotations. I take full responsibility for publishing them.
I also wish to acknowledge that the false posts listed above were not the only fabricated stories I published about Governor Soludo. Among other posts on Igbo Times Magazine and INews, I also published false and misleading stories involving Governor Soludo and Mr. Peter Obi, including claims that Mr. Peter Obi would defeat Governor Soludo in an election. Those stories were also completely false, were not based on any verified facts, and should never have been published.
I sincerely admit that I published such stories in pursuit of online traffic, audience engagement, and financial gain. I now realize that no amount of money or online attention can justify spreading false information or damaging another person’s reputation. I deeply regret my actions and accept full responsibility for everything I published.
I deeply regret the embarrassment, reputational harm, and misunderstanding these fabricated stories may have caused to Governor Soludo, his family, his associates, and members of the public.
To Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, I respectfully and humbly ask for your forgiveness. I sincerely apologize for my actions and for publishing information that was false.
I also apologize to the people of Anambra State, readers of Igbo Times Magazine and INews, and everyone who may have seen or shared these false publications. I am committed to correcting this mistake and ensuring that such an incident does not happen again.
This statement serves as my full and unconditional retraction of those publications. They were false, fabricated, and should be disregarded in their entirety.
Once again, I sincerely ask Governor Soludo, his family, and the general public to forgive me.
Signed
Ejike Ofoegbu Experience
Owner & Publisher, Igbo Times Magazine and INews"

@followlasg on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) and Naston Engineering to commence the scoping and definition of key components of the State’s water infrastructure development.
This irresponsible guy said ISIS Used Helicopter, Trucks To Transport Oyo Kidnapped Victims To Kaduna...
I believe @OfficialDSSNG should track him down and get him ARRESTED!
You people are really evil!
Leaving people out of the loop to avoid compromise is in itself a strategy.
Seyi Makinde has been taught his own lesson.
"Nobody only you sabi play that game"
RIP to Lt. FA Isaac, who was killed in the early days of this rescue operation💔
In a heartbreaking twist of events, he was laid to rest today that the victims were finally released
This is one of the names I hope will be immortalized by the AFN, Oyo state, & the Nigerian government.
Peter Obi is always vague, evasive and ambiguous when asked simple questions on what he would do differently. Yet, goes about talking about integrity, commitment, capacity, competence and character! What a dishonest and manipulative content creator.😄
🚨 Luis de la Fuente: “I honestly don't understand why you ask me about the controversy surrounding the referee in the Argentina vs. Egypt match. Where did that even come from? I watched the game and I thought the referee got everything right. I’d actually like to congratulate him because every decision he made was spot on.” @DAZN_ES 🇦🇷🇪🇬
La misma gente que se queja de Argentina son los que ganaron tres champions así😂
Tienen mucha suerte de que las redes sociales no eran tan grandes en 2017
Read the article and the way this works is that members of the US women’s team each apparently get like $260 K USD because the men’s team made the Round of 16
Even though they didn’t play
