"I AM AN INDEPENDENT CREATOR SEEKING ACCOUNTABILITY": CONTENT CREATOR ISSUES DISCLAIMER FOLLOWING PRESSURE FROM ABUJA OVER ENUGU GOVERNANCE VIDEO

An independent digital content creator has released a public disclaimer following alleged pressure and calls from Abuja demanding she clarify that her critical commentary on Enugu State governance was not politically motivated.

​Addressing the public and directly tagging Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, the creator denied allegations of receiving payment, sponsorship, or direction from opposition political figures. She clarified that her video relied strictly on publicly available media reports and internet data, describing her content as an exercise in civic accountability rather than political advocacy. Asserting her right as an independent citizen to question state leadership, she appealed for an immediate end to official inquiries and warnings directed at her.

​The statement highlights growing tensions between independent online creators and political authorities, as social media platforms increasingly serve as primary channels for grassroots civic engagement and public scrutiny across the state.

​"I got a call from Abuja yesterday asking me to make a disclaimer that my video was not politically affiliated. I am an independent solo creator—I wasn’t paid or bribed by anyone. I don’t know or have contact with any opposition candidate; I’m just a citizen seeking accountability for my homeland. Can the investigations and warnings please stop?"

​Reaffirming her commitment to civic advocacy, the creator announced that future broadcast content will include explicit legal disclaimers to protect her independence while continuing to hold public officials accountable.
