Abia State, Nigeria –
The media team of Dr. Uche Ogah has strongly refuted claims suggesting that he played a role in the recent defection of Hon. Lucky Nweke Johnson from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Labour Party (LP).
In a press statement released on Tuesday, Dr. Ogah’s media team described the report by Eagle-News.com as “entirely false,” dismissing it as an attempt by political mischief-makers to stir controversy.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Hon. Lucky Johnson is a seasoned politician who may have made his decision after due consultations to join the Labour Party. Linking Dr. Ogah to this move is nothing but an attempt by political merchants to create an unnecessary narrative where none exists,” the statement read.
Dr. Uche Ogah, a former Minister of Mines and Steel Development, reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his dedication to the party’s growth in Abia State.
His team emphasized that he has not been involved in any discussions or arrangements regarding Hon. Johnson’s political decisions.
Describing him as “arguably the most consistent APC member in Abia State,” the statement highlighted Dr. Ogah’s leadership in the Abia Rejoice Movement, a political structure actively working to strengthen the party’s presence from the ward level to the local government areas through meetings and strategic activities.
Furthermore, the media team called on media outlets, including Eagle-News.com, to verify their reports before publication to uphold journalistic integrity.
“False narratives do not serve the interest of the public and only create unnecessary distractions,” they stated.
Dr. Ogah assured his supporters that he remains focused on his service to humanity and will not be swayed by political distractions.
“We appreciate the support and trust of well-meaning Abians and encourage everyone to focus on issues that truly matter for the development of our dear state,” the statement concluded.
The rebuttal comes amid growing political realignments in Abia State ahead of future elections, as key stakeholders position themselves within various political parties.
