Ogun Deputy Governor disowns ‘fake’ Facebook account

Barely three weeks after Yetunde Onanuga’s
inauguration as the Deputy Governor of Ogun
State, suspected fraudsters have created a fake
Facebook account for her.
The Deputy Governor who made the disclosure in
a statement Thursday issued by her Press Officer,
Femi Olayinka, in Abeokuta said the impostor has
been using the Facebook account to promise,
secure contracts and employment opportunities
for innocent people.
“Ogun State Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs.)
Yetunde Onanuga’s attention has been drawn to a
Facebook account created by an impostor in a bid
to trick unsuspecting members of the Public,” the
statement said.
“The impostor has been using the Facebook
account to promise, secure contracts and
employment opportunity for unsuspecting
members of the Public, making unwarranted
comments on the leadership of the All Progressive
Congress (APC) in the State.”
The statement explained that the Deputy Governor
pledged her unalloyed loyalty to the party,
emphasizing that she was not on any social
media and any person found bearing her name or
using her office was doing so not only to deceive
members of the public but also to cause social
crisis.
The Deputy Governor distanced herself from the
contents of the said page, saying she was
ignorant of the entire plot, warning those behind
it to desist from the act as relevant agencies
have been duly informed.
