Our attention has been drawn to a puerile publication making the rounds in the Social Media, mischievously purporting that Bashorun Askia Ogieh made statements about the constitution, appointments into and conduct of the certian government agencies.

On the face of the publication, any discerning person can immediately see that it is a cowardly political hatchet job commissioned with the ill-intention to tarnish the name of Bashorun Askia.

This can easily be seen in the namelessness and facelessness of the writers.

To be clear, Bashorun Askia is too politically responsible to engage in any conversation bordering on ethnic bigotry and has never and will never be involved in such, as described by the fabricated write up, neither in private nor in public.

Fortunately, the Pan Deltan in Bashorun Askia is conspicuous to every Deltan as demonstrated through his record of programmes in public service and private charity works.

We have considered this rebuttal necessary only as a matter of setting the record straight before the public.
