An Imo State based Journalists, Ambassador Anselem Anokwute has denied writing any article or news story against the former Governor of Imo State, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha.
In a statement made available to Newsmen on Tuesday, Amb. Anokwute stated that it is wrong to use an innocent person's name to do hatchet job.
He recalled the postulations that Journalists are not seen but heard and those in the broadcasting media are equally noticed by their voices and wonder how those who called themselves media aides to politicians have refused to follow the journalism ethical conduct and practice to the usage of inflammatory, derogatory and defamatory languages against the opponents of their Principals through writings instead of managing and building bridges for them.
Anokwute pointed out that, he has served as a media consultant to some prominent politicians in the State,but decided to work as an under-dog adding that no matter how close you think you are with a politician you are not in the same category with him.
"And when sharing of money comes,you as a Journalist won't be allowed to witness the sharing,instead,you will be sent out on an errands, that's why you must show capacity and know your onion as a writer and use your talents effectively to raise your boss not to bring him down and not to make more enemies to him".
"I remembered vividly When Mr. Kelechi Ekeh was the media Aide to Senator Samuel Anyanwu ranging from his days at the Ikeduru Local Government Area as Executive Chairman to his eight years in Imo State House of Assembly as member for Ikeduru State Constituency and finally in the Senate where his fame and popularity rose to high heaven with people loving him across the party line. Kelechi Ekeh was a friend to everyone that's the work and character of a good public Relations manager".
"As a media aide,you can also promote the ideas of your boss without inflicting injury by conducting your work in utmost professionalism and journalism ethical standards.
Now, the reasons behind using another person name in a destructive article is to hide under the ground to cause more harm and crisis where there is no crisis. A credited story to the like of Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Evangelist Mike Ikoku using a sido PDP Chieftains and a fiticious name Anselm Anokwute from Owerri as the writer remains a dangerous weapon against its original writer's principal.
The story published on the social media few days ago was riddle of grammatical errors and blunders.
Above all,it was also in devoid of the writing style of the real Anselem Anokwute an Imo State based Journalist.
"How can a sane person said that Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha lies, former House of Representatives Deputy Speaker and Speaker respectively and also former Governor of Imo State?. What is the portfolios of the PDP Chieftains that said such trash?.
By the way, Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Evangelist Mike Ikoku can not be in comparison to Emeka Ihedioha. There are too many differences both in numenclatures and experiences. Anybody comparing them is a stupid person".
"Anselem Anokwute is a senior member of the journalism profession in the State and can't stoops too low to use such inflammatory and derogatory fowl language against such people in the State".
