The statement reads:
“The attention of Pastor Umo Eno, and the PDP/Umo Eno Campaign Council has been drawn to several Facebook accounts opened in the name of Pastor Umo Eno, the PDP governorship candidate for Akwa Ibom State.
“We want to state clearly that Pastor Eno does not have any Facebook account, and has not authorized anybody to open a Facebook account on his behalf.
“Therefore, the unsuspecting public is hereby alerted to beware of, and fall victim to these impersonators, who apparently are up to fraudulent intents.
