  "account": "The Anambra State Government has refuted a viral video claiming that Governor Chukwuma Soludo's son, Ozonna Soludo, was seen campaigning for Peter Obi, the candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress. The video showed Ozonna dancing to music promoting Obi, with the NDC candidate's logo and picture superimposed. However, the state government clarified in a press release that the video was falsely attributed to Ozonna and did not originate from him. The Media Assistant to the Anambra State First Lady, Dan Ezeigwe, stated that any attempt to associate Ozonna with the video is false, malicious, and entirely unacceptable. The government warned those spreading misinformation to desist immediately, reminding them that the laws against misinformation and libel remain in force. The statement emphasized the importance of verifying information before publishing and cautioned against spreading falsehoods, as those who deliberately spread such falsehoods will not be immune to legal consequences.",
