It is not my write-up!
This is to inform the general public that the poem titled “Trip of Shame” which reflected my name as the writer thereof, is not my write-up. My email account was hacked by mischief makers who proceeded to send and circulate the said poem in my name.
Ever since the publication of the said poem which went viral, I have received numerous calls from friends and well-wishers who expressed surprise(s) about the harshness of the words used in the poem attributed to me. As a matter of fact, I was not even aware of such write-up until a friend who saw it on Facebook drew my attention to it.
The general public are therefore, advised to ignore the said poem attributed to me as it it is not my write-up. I have esteemed regard to our traditional institutions in general and to the Attah Igala and His Excellency in particular.
May God bless Kogi State!
– Solomon Akobe
