Senator representing Delta North senatorial district, Prince Ned Nwoko has condemned the rising trend of reckless defamation, baseless accusations and outright blackmail targeted at political office holders under the guise of opposition politics.

This may not be unconnected to a recent case involving one Mr. Chimezie, who falsely accused the senator of certificate forgery, embezzlement of public funds and other malicious fabrications.

Hon. Gloria Okolugbo, Director of Communications, Office of Senator Nwoko, while seeing it as a disturbing trend, lamented that despite prior warnings, certain individuals continue to propagate falsehoods and defamatory claims against the distinguished Senator.

She said Senator Nwoko, a renowned international legal practitioner and respected global figure, has built his reputation through decades of hard work, integrity, and service. Therefore, it is unacceptable that anyone, under the cover of social media, would make unsubstantiated claims aimed at tarnishing his hard-earned name.

“In Nigerian society, reputation is highly valued and while some may trivialize theirs, the distinguished Senator will not stand by and allow his integrity to be recklessly attacked.

“While democracy thrives on diverse opinions and constructive criticism, it must be emphasized that the fundamental principles of fairness, truth and accountability cannot be sacrificed in the name of political engagement. These are not mere political criticisms; they are grievous allegations with serious legal consequences.

“We encourage constructive engagement and responsible discourse but will not tolerate slander, cyberstalking or blackmail. Those who wish to oppose Senator Ned Nwoko are free to do so within the bounds of truth and decency. However, let it be known that defamation will not be ignored nor excused.

“It is imperative to remind all that freedom of expression does not include the right to malign, defame, or falsely accuse others. Criticism of public officials should be based on facts and responsible discourse, not deliberate falsehoods designed to mislead the public and incite disaffection.

“Justice is not selective. While the public is quick to rally behind perceived underdogs, it is essential to recognize that the rich and powerful also deserve justice,” she said.
