A\u00a0pressure group, The Core Delta Youth, CDY, has said the news report published by an online platform and credited to one \u201cIteveh Ekpokpobe highlighting the purchase of a so-called\u00a0 \u201cmicrophones\u201d installed for use at the Executive Council Chambers of the Delta State Government by the office of the Permanent Secretary, Government House is fake news<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coordinator of Core Delta Youth, Mr. Uyero Erarawewho, described the news report as \u201cinfantile and uninformed\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CDY noted that the report was a mere campaign of calumny against the Permanent Secretary, Government House and Protocol, Mr Edwin Ogidi-Gbegbaje as it had no credible content and did not show the reporter to have the basic knowledge of what he was reporting about. The CDY observed that the reporter did not know the difference between microphones and a Conference Hall multi-Channel Public Communication System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA microphone is a small component of a PA system\u201d CDY noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor the reporter to claim that \u201cthe sum of N52, 662,300 million was expended to acquire mere \u201cmicrophone\u201d is unpardonable ignorance and criminal mischief\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe memo that was approved for the purchase was not for microphones but for the installation of a state-of-the-art multi-Channel Conference Hall Communication System\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMoreover, Mr. Eddy Ogidi-Gbegbaje is a Civil Servant, albeit a Permanent Secretary, who has no power to spend money without approval by a higher authority\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is obvious that the reporter or the group behind him is working with a leaker of documents in Government but the reporter can do better for himself by understanding documents handed to him and further understanding technology being acquired\u201d, CDY wrote in their response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe state of the art Dicentis wireless (BOSCH) conference system\u201d is a robust communication system used all over the world for top level conferencing and does not sell for the prices of \u201cmicrophones\u201d conjured by the reporter, CDY concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
