REFMEDIAGIST, a fake blog, pitches Awgu Chairman against his kinsmen

While, obviously, attempting to defend, a fake online news outlet REFMEDIAGIST has defamed the chairman of Awgu local government area.

In a publication made yesterday, it was responding to the InfoWars’ viral news report about the resolve of the good people of Awgu to fight for Senate in 2027. Not only did InfoWars report factual and very positive news, it got those facts from Awgu public WhatsApp platforms and confirmed it from reliable sources.

Awgu people’s agitation for equity and fairness is justified. The most populous local government area in Enugu West constituency, the council area is grossly cheated out of political equations – always. Its four sisters council areas have sat in the Senate at different times. Also, there has never been any former governor or governor or minister of Awgu extraction.

Part of Refmediagist’s post:

“The Executive Chairman of Awgu local government area, Hon Uchenna Okolo has formally distanced from a controversial political publication currently in circulation”.

The editor or, maybe Okolo’s media handlers, doesn’t know they actually pitched the chairman against his constituents.

For one thing, InfoWars‘ publication never mention the chairman’s name in the trending article. Failing to understand how media works, the handlers fell for the bait of using their boss’s photo. A Local Government chairman is the leader and ultimate face of his council. And as a public figure he doesn’t have control of how his photos or name are used in the public so long uses are not for malicious intents.

“Now, we know that our chairman is not with his people. He is satisfied already – whether Awgu prospers or fails isn’t his concern,” Remigius Nwankwo from Mgbidi said in a phone chat.

If handled poorly, Refmediagist’s tasteless post is capable destroying Hon Uchenna Okolo’s political future.

InfoWars has reached the chairman’s office for comment.
