It reads in part: “The attention of the national secretariat of the National Mandate Group (NMG), has been drawn to a widely circulated photos and stories on social media, of a group of people, masquerading as our Coordinator in Rivers State and led by an imposter, claiming to be the National Secretary of National Mandate Group.

“The persons are said to have paid a solidarity visit to His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, to affirm their loyalty and support to PDP gubernatorial candidate in Rivers State.

“The National Mandate Group wishes to categorically state that the group of persons that visited Governor Wike are not known to the National Mandate Group and are just a group of of imposters that are using our highly esteemed organisation for deception and personal pecuniary interests.

“The National Mandate Group has had only one National Secretary since Inception and he is still the substantive National Secretary, therefore, anyone parading himself as a former National Secretary of the National Mandate Group is just a delusional impostor, trying to mislead Governor Wike and the unsuspecting public.”
