With all due respect, we have received your letter of May 20, 2020, wherein you alleged that TRUMPETA maligned your client, Distinguished Senator Ifeanyi Araraume.
However, having read the said edition of Thursday May 14, 2020 Vol.10 No 93 in Trumpeta Newspaper with caption \u201cImo APC Boils, Araraume Corners Assembly Lawmakers\u201d we found nothing defamatory other than a political story, which to many political minds, rather extolled Araraume\u2019s political strength in Imo State, as it also kept him on the front burner of if Imo discourse, even as most readers cherished that story positively, based on our feedback mechanism. On \u201cThe Insinuation, Serial Governorship candidate was the climax of the defamatory publication\u201d however, when we checked the Dictionary, it gave the meaning of \u201cSerial\u201d as \u201cHaving to do with or Arranged in a series. And \u201cSeries\u201d said \u201cA number of things that follow one after the other or connected one after the other\u201d.
As a respectful Newspaper made up of informed and experienced Journalists, it is on record that our Revered Senator has contested for Imo Governorship election since 2007, till 2019, which makes it \u201cSeries\u201d or Serial\u201d. Therefore it was not meant to denigrate his person.
However, since mentioning the name of your client in Trumpeta Newspaper\u00a0 was deemed defamatory, we hereby withdraw the statement and from hence forth may\u00a0 desist completely\u00a0 from mentioning your client\u2019s names in our publications, as we may not know the one that\u00a0 may hurt his feelings and\u00a0 seen as Defamatory.
Our regrets.
