The friends of Senator MAO Ohuabunwa have described as wicked, attempt by some persons to associate him with the ownership of an opulent mansion and an array of eye-popping cars in a viral video currently circulating on the social media.
The 43-seconds video shows a sprawling estate on which are a couple of mansions, with a fleet of state-of-the-art cars nestling in the garage being passed-off on social media as the property of Senator MAO Ohuabunwa.
In reaction to the video, friends of the Senator, in a statement on Wednesday, said:
“The attention of Distinguished Senator MAO Ohuabunwa has been drawn to a 43 seconds video circulating on social media, which shows a compound that radiates opulence with an array of state-of-the-art automobiles nestling in the expansive garage.
“Ordinarily, the distinguished Senator would not take a second look at the video, let alone admire the palatial compound and the array of cars parked therein, not being a man cut out for ostentatious lifestyle.
“But it became necessary to comment on the said video because some unsettled persons twisted and passed it off as the residence of Distinguished Senator MAO.
Let it be noted that:
1. Senator MAO Ohuabunwa is a man of modest means, not cut out for ostentatious lifestyle;
2. Senator MAO Ohuabunwa does not have, anywhere in the world, such outlandish property and the eye popping cars on display in the said video;
3. Those who believe in Senator MAO Ohuabunwa have since found out that the said video was posted on Instagram by one Ken Bramor;
4. That the purveyor captioned the video “My dreams are expensive on Instagram: This home does not belong to a politician…”
5. Therefore, there’s no way the said video could have had anything to do with Distinguished Senator MAO. Yet jittery political opponents of the Distinguished Senator took liberty to twist it for their selfish gains;
6. That the said video has nothing whatsoever to do with Senator MAO Ohuabunwa;
7. That those who are scared of Senator MAO Ohuabunwa’s popularity are desperate to pull him down by all means possible hence the resort to this new dimension of blackmail;
8. That this is a calculated attempt to tar the Distinguished Senator in the eyes of his very constituents;
9. Therefore, we urge the discerning public, particularly the Senator’s constituents, to ignore the said video for the piece of trash it represents, for, at best, it is the figment of the imagination of those who seek to associate it with Distinguished Senator MAO Ohuabunwa.
