The Anambra State Government has denied circulating information asking residents to click on a link to access alleged campaign funds from Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo ahead of the upcoming gubernatorial election.

In a statement, the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefo, warned the public against engaging with such online schemes:

“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. Your cyber safety and security are our top priority.”

The government’s statement emphasizes the need for residents to remain cautious and avoid falling victim to online scams that falsely leverage the governor’s name and reputation.
