**PUBLIC RESPONSE TO THE RECENT DISCLAIMER STORY CONCERNING IPOB ESWATINI CHAPTER**
It has come to our attention that a disclaimer concerning IPOB Eswatini Chapter was recently published on an online news platform without hearing from all affected parties.
We wish to state clearly that IPOB Eswatini Chapter has not hijacked, taken over, or unlawfully claimed any page or social media platform belonging to any person, organisation, or group.
For the avoidance of doubt, IPOB Eswatini Chapter had previously contracted a social media consultant in 2019 to assist with the creation and management of its online presence. The consultant did not fully deliver the agreed work at that time, but has now completed and delivered the social media platform in question. Based on our understanding, the page was created and handled by the consultant in connection with the work assigned to him.
We therefore reject any attempt to twist the facts or portray IPOB Eswatini Chapter as being involved in hijacking, impersonation, or conflict with any organisation. There is no truth in the allegation that IPOB Eswatini Chapter hijacked any page belonging to another group.
IPOB Eswatini Chapter is real, focused, and committed to its lawful affairs, including creating awareness and engaging peacefully on matters affecting our people. We are not in conflict with ANNIES/NIDO Eswatini or any Nigerian group in Eswatini, and we do not seek to misrepresent or interfere with the activities of any organisation.
We condemn any publication or statement that presents one side of the matter without giving IPOB Eswatini Chapter a fair opportunity to respond. Responsible journalism requires fairness, balance, and proper verification before publishing claims capable of damaging the reputation of any person or organisation.
We therefore call on the platform concerned to publish this response as our right of reply and to correct any impression that IPOB Eswatini Chapter unlawfully hijacked or claimed any social media page.
Signed
IPOB Eswatini Chapter
