Former Nigerian international, Victor Nosa Ikpeba, has disowned a twitter account linking him to making political statements.
The former Monaco of France player, said the account, @mrvictorikpeba, was opened by some unscrupulous elements who want to tarnish his good name and image.
One of the twitter messages read: “I curse the day I voted for Apc.” Another one read: “PDP will never learn, the same strategy APC used in Lagos, Kogi is being repeated in Bayelsa. #BayelsaDecides”.
The ex-Super Eagles denounced the twitter handle and all the messages on it, adding that he is not a politician and has no political affiliation.
According to him, all what he knows in his life is football and he would for no reason use his good name and what he had made to pursue any political agenda.
He said: “I have no affiliation to any political party, it is so sad to learn that some people are using my name to spread political messages which to the best of my knowledge are not emanating from me.
“I want to say that whoever is using my name on twitter to do this is a fraudster. I’m not into politics, I’m a sportsman who did a lot to make this country great. I’m appealing to Nigerians to disregard these messages”.
