Former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Dr Uche Ogah on Thursday reacted to the suspension slammed on him and eight others for allegedly working for other parties during the just-concluded General Elections in Abia state. Ogah who lost out in the APC governorship primary told news men that the PDP used some stalwarts of the party to destroy APC.
"How can somebody that says his wife is the Nigeria Ambassador to the US; somebody collecting all the money and contracts was only able to give APC, a ruling party at the centre, 8000 votes during the Presidential poll?"
Speaking of how his brother, Ameobi Ogah emerged from the Labour Party to win the Isuikwuato)Umunneochi Federal Constituency seat, he opened up on the quarrel between him and Hon Nkeiru Onyejeocha, the incumbent who was displaced:
”Nkeiru told everybody that I had no electoral value, but I wanted to prove her wrong and teach her a lesson. I have shown her that she is the one without any electoral value.
”She said she can win election without me. Now, let her come and win election in Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency again. She said no man with balls can collect the seat from her, and I wanted to tell her that I have balls!
“All those people in Emenike’s camp have lost their political relevance. In 2019, we gave APC 49% but they compromised, and they cancelled, and cancelled until it came down to 26%.
”Ikpeazu then carried it to Abuja and claimed that he was the one that gave Buhari 26%. So, during the governorship election, they gave him the entire structure including INEC. Despite that, we still won that election if not that they stole our votes in six LGAs.
”So, all these people following Emenike have lost their political value in Abia State. Abia has rejected all of them. ” Who is Avajah? Let him produce his polling unit and Ward results let’s see. He is the one to be suspended because he has no political relevance in Abia politics.
”If I supported my brother? Yes I did! I also supported Dr Alex Otti. I’m not hiding it because I wanted to show those in Emenike’s camp that they have no political value.”
