The Enugu State government has labeled as false allegations made by the deputy governor of Enugu state, Sunday Onyebuchi, that Governor Sullivan Chime operated a poultry and piggery in the government house.
The deputy governor made the allegation while appearing before the impeachment panel on Wednesday.
While reacting to the matter, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Chukwudi Achife, in a statement, said the deputy governor’s accusations were malicious and intended to deceive the public.
He explained that while the Enugu State Government retains an ‘Agric Unit’ as part of the government house structure where livestock are kept for slaughter to serve the needs of the staff, as well as the governor and deputy governor’s official residences, the unit was neither operated nor owned by Chime.
Achife further noted that the Agric unit was staffed by civil servants, and maintained with public funds, like any other department of the government, adding that the unit was not within the governor’s residential premises.
