Pasali said the national body of IPMAN felt it was necessary to put the record straight for the public to know that some there attention was drawn to a publication in one of the newspaper dated 17th July 2018 on the false allegation discouraging stakeholders from attending the NIPCO’s forthcoming AGM of NIPCO.

He said that the national executive of IPMAN was aware that the chairman of NIPCO Plc, Chief Bestman Paul Anekwe has complied with the necessary provision of law.

He said that executive body of IPMAN under the leadership of Mr Chinedu Okoronkwo respected the views of members of IPMAN on freedom of speech; the NEC of IPMAN will not tolerate anybody to hide under the association’s name to commit unlawful action to the detriment of IPMAN.

According to him, the report also purported that IPMAN had petitioned the security agencies due to violation of its rules.
