Founder and chief strategist of Alpha Reach Limited Japheth Omojuwa has denied listing former presidential candidate Oby Ezekwesili as a director in the company.
Mrs Ezekwesili had in a letter written by her lawyers Falana and Falana Chambers demanded full disclosure and public apology over the alleged unapproved use of her name as director of the company.
According to the letter, the company which was incorporated in 2012 also has Damilola Ogunleye, Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai and Omojuwa as directors.
However, in a statement issued by the company and signed by Omojuwa, the company said Ezekwesili was not on the board and never a co-owner.
The company also denied having a hand in the alleged campaign in favour of Venezuelan envoy Alexx Saab who was arrested on money laundering charges.
The statement reads: “Alpha Reach, as an organization, was not involved in the campaign making rounds. And neither did any Alpha Reach staff pay anyone on behalf of Alpha Reach. The speculation that the company was involved in the campaign is therefore not true. We are also aware that Twitter cleared accounts associated with the said campaign. It is pertinent to note that none of those accounts had any link or affiliation with our company.
“On another note, Alpha Reach wishes to state that at no time was Dr. Mrs. Obiageli Ezekwesili a part-owner of Alpha Reach, and she is not a member of the Alpha Reach board. This clarification is necessary because of insinuations being made that she is/was a co-owner of Alpha Reach. Thank you.”
