Anyim has denied link with the United State-based Nigerian actress, Blessing
Anyim, who spoke about the on-going Biafra agitations in
Nigeria.
Senator Anyim, in a statement, said he never had any child by
that name, and that all his children are based in Nigeria. His full statement
below:
“My attention has been drawn to a publication
credited to one “Blessing, Anyim Pius Anyim’s daughter” in an online
platform.
I want to use this opportunity to clarify the
following:
That none of my children lives or had ever lived outside Nigeria.
That I have no daughter that is an actress. My only daughter just finished her
first degree examination in Nigeria last month and so is yet to undergo her
National Youth Service talk less of engaging in any carrier.
That as at
today, I am the only politician in my house and so none of my children or even
my wife has any political interest or any opinion on national issues.
May
I state that the statement though may not be hurtful but is not from anybody
related to me in anyway and as a matter of fact nobody in my family knows the
actress under reference.
It is my wish that our mass communicators should
always verify their facts.”
