Mr. Soludo disclosed this in a statement by his spokesperson, Christian Aburime, on Thursday.
He said the report wrongly identified him as the chairperson of the South-east Governors Forum and also claimed that he briefed reporters at the end of a meeting of the forum.
He said the writer also wrongly stated that the gold reserve was discovered in Eha-Amufu Community in the state, whereas, Eha-Amufu is a community in Enugu State, not in Anambra State
The governor described the report as “misleading” and a “figment of the writer’s imagination”.
“The entire news story including every statement or quotation allegedly attributed to Governor Chukwuma Soludo are mere falsehoods, without an iota of truth,” he said.
Mr. Soludo asked residents of the state to disregard the report, maintaining that it was “a mischievously cooked-up story with the clear intention to mislead the general public”.
The governor posted a screenshot of the report on his verified Twitter handle on Thursday. He urged the general public to disregard the report.
