The Anambra State Government has distanced itself from a viral message circulating online, which claims that voters in the state can access a ₦25,000 campaign fund allegedly sponsored by the Soludo Campaign ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.
In a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefo, the government clarified that no such initiative was authorized by either Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo or any government agency.
Mefo said, “The Anambra State Government wishes to inform the general public that neither the governor nor the government has authorised any campaign or initiative that requires citizens to visit external links or provide personal information in exchange for funds.
“The purported campaign claiming to offer ₦25,000 campaign funds from Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo is therefore fake and should be totally disregarded.
“We urge ndị Anambra and the general public to be vigilant and not engage with suspicious links or provide sensitive information, especially those trying to cash out of Governor Soludo’s great profile.
“Your cyber safety and security are our top priority.”
The government further advised residents to rely only on verified information from official state channels.
