Progressive Youths for Justice & Development Initiative (PYJDI), an umbrella group in the fold of governing All Progressives Congress (APC) on Sunday, says it has uncovered the evil machinations of few serial losers cum unscrupulous party members to malign and the main Abia state Gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah.
The group noted the latest among other evil machination by these nest of disgruntled party members, and backed by the Abia factional leader of APC, Mr Ikechi Emenike was the recent purported lawsuits alleging forgery of election results which emanated from the concluded gubernatorial primaries held in Abia state by the latter, describing the unfolding development as political victimization smacked of personal selfish aggrandisements to score cheap political gains.
Recall that reports had surfaced on Thursday, purporting that an Umuahia Magistrate Court in Abia state, had slammed a bench warrant on the APC gubernatorial Candidate in Abia state and the immediate past Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah.
The report also purported that the Abia court had ordered the state police commissioner to arrest and detain Ogah for failing to appear before it to answer a question of alleged forgery brought before it by a faction of the APC in Abia state.
But reacting to the purported accusation of forgery against the Abia All Progressives Congress gubernatorial standard-bearer in a worded press statement on Sunday in Abuja, the Progressive Youths for Justice & Development Initiatives, regretted that Emenike and co-travelers descended too low and deliberately refused to toe the path of laws by accepting defeat, instead they had resorted to cheap political blackmails as obviously demonstrated in the current trumped-up criminal charges against Uche Ogah before a magistrate Court in Abia on alleged forgery of election results, describing the ex-minister as a man of proven integrity, and uncommon acumen, and requisite capacity and dexterity to address and tackle headlong the myriads of challenges impeding the human and economic growths and as well as Infrastructural development in the state when given the maximum supports to emerge successfully in the forthcoming governorship elections in March 2023 as the next Abia governor.
The pro-democracy group also drew the attention of the Nigeria Security agencies on the uncovered and hatched grand plan by Abia serial election loser and Abia factional party leader according to intelligence information reliably gathered, to initiate and stage mange match protest in umuahia and Aba aimed at pressurizing the Nigerian judiciary, particularly the appellate court and the supreme court of Nigeria into succumbing to their whims and caprices, and as well as carry out inordinate ambitions and biddings.
According to the APC youth body, “Mr Ikechi Emenike’s devious antics and and curry undue sympathy from the populaces in Abia, and also absolve himself from the open illegalities aided by some past mischevious national officers of the party in Abuja. This lastest undemocratic, infantile and outdated style of Emenike’s will hit the rock like a pack of cards as nothing good comes out from him, instead his continued demonstrations and penchant to destroying every laudable strides recorded in the development of APC Abia, and indeed, the entire igbo nation”.
The advocacy organzation also drew the attention of Ikechi Emenike and co-travelers that it verifiably remains on record that Uche Ogah maintains clean bill of healths in public services as then Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, and in private sector-driven business investment as foremost industrist with business conglomerates across Abia, African continent, and the globe, adding that Ogah stood tall among equal who contributed immensely in Nigeria’s developing economies and economic divertification through boosting of the nation’s revenue generation base.
The youth development group reminded the infamous serial election loser (Emenike) and a crop of his few foot-soldiers and hirelings that the current mood in Abia state calls for purposeful, effective and responsive governance in every levels of political leadership of the state, adding that it was on the above-stated mood and yearnings by the people, that propelled the cerebral and frontline Abia governorship standard-bearer sojourned into the murky water of Nigeria politics, and had continued to make himself available in seeking to be elected as Abia governor, so as to replicate those bunch of excellent and uncommon strides he demonstrated and recorded which presenti is rated as topbest among comity of global private sector-driven business investors when rally rounded to emerge victorious in the forthcoming general elections next year.
According to umbrella body, no amount of campaign of calumny, name-calling, character assassination, cheap and infantile media propaganda, mudslinging, orchestrated by these serial election losers will stop or pose as a hindrance and threat in stopping the ebullient and leading Abia Governorship ticket-bearer of the APC, Uche Ogah not to fly the gubernatorial flag of All Progressives Congress in next year’s general elections.
“Our able leader believes God giveths leadership power and takeths power, as nothing will make him to back out from the race. He’s in race to win election and form next government in the state and rewrite bad narratives in governance of the ststo be able to provide most ofthey necessities of life.
“What mine saying? Ogah will foster and ensure democractic dividends and impactful amenities are brought to every doorsteps of the Abia masses most importantly, towards achieving greater growth in development of the state’s economy and critical infrastructure when his administration is elected into office next year.
While calling on Nigerian judiciary and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to shun pressures on whatever guises from Ikechi Emenike and group of his acolytes to subvert genuine democratic process and the rule of law regarding to the conducted party gubernatorial primaries, and the recent affirmation of Uche Ogah as authentic All Progressives Congress Gubernatorial Candidate imm in Abia state, Progressive Youths for Justice and Development Initiative (PYJDI) commended the judiciary arm of government in Nigeria for saving APC from abysmal failure, catastrophy and political oblivion with the landmark judegment that legitimately affirmed Ogah as duly elected and main gubernatorial candidate of the party, and further cmat Ogah possessed the wherewithal and the requisite capacity, ability and the need contacts resuscitate and drive transformation in critical facets of Abia economic survival.
