The All Progressives Congress APC,in Abia State has said that they do not support Dr. Uche Ogah, a former minister of mines and steel development who won against the party’s governorship ticket in court.
The party leaders, who ignored Ogah’s celebration of his courts triumph upon their arrival from Abuja,
explained that thier absence from the event was a direct message to the former minister that his court victory meant nothing to the party.
Dr. Kingsley Ononogbu, the chairman of the Abia APC, claimed that Ogah was celebrating a fake ticket that would do him no good and questioned the reasoning behind such behavior.
Kingsley Ononogbu said; “It is an irony that Uche Ogah, who transferred his case to Abuja citing security challenges in Abia as pretext, has now returned to the same Abia to celebrate what he considers as court victory.
“The celebrant, Uche Ogah has demonstrated that he has no love for Abia people and is insensitive to their sufferings in the hands of the ruling PDP. Uche Ogah’s activities are geared towards assisting those holding the state down to maintain their grip.
“That is the glaring reason every person of note in our party has isolated Ogah because they all know his game plan and they detest his antics and shenanigan coming at a time our party is formidably prepared to rescue and develop Abia State.
“We know the source of the inglorious music that Ogah and his misguided followers are dancing to but I can assure them that our party is stronger than these agents of distraction and destabilization.”
Speaking at the same time sir Friday Nwosu, the party’s national welfare secretary, emphasized that Ogah is not the party’s candidate for the election and emphasized that the law’s position on the issue of political parties nominating their candidates for elections does not favor Ogah.
