Several news platforms (not Qed.ng) claimed Okorocha confirmed the death of Uwajumogu to reporters at the Senate.
However, the former Imo State governor tweeted to say that he did not speak with journalists on Uwajumogu’s death.
“This is very absurd as I did not speak to anyone to confirm this news. This kind of journalism is totally unacceptable. We must strive to do better,” he said.

Uwajumogu, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had been battling with an undisclosed ailment for some weeks.
Sources said he was initially treated in the United Arab Emirates but recently returned to Abuja after showing signs of recovery.
