Abia State All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain and 2019 Isuikwuato/Umunneochi House of Representative aspirant, Chief Hon Amobi Ogah has described a former member of his party’s B.O.T and an elder statesman, Chief B.B Apugo as a political fraudster while addressing newsmen today.
Amobi Ogah is the younger brother to Dr Uchechukwu Ogah, the 2019 Governorship candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC) and the present Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development who was recently accused by Chief Apugo of secretly joining forces with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) making it difficult for APC to take over the Government House in Abia State.
Chief Amobi Ogah further described Chief B.B Apugo as one who does not have any political relevance in the State having lost his unit, ward to PDP during the 2019 Presidential and Governorship election in Abia State but the Governorship candidate, Dr Uchechukwu Ogah was able to deliver the party in his unit, ward and LGA.
Chief Amobi Ogah alleged that Chief B.B Apugo while having discussion with some of his friends at his country home in Umuahia was heard saying he knows what to do to make sure Dr Uchechukwu Ogah brings out money since he does not want to ‘roja’ them.
“How can somebody who was never in support of Uchechukwu Ogah in the last APC gubernatorial primaries and the election proper but was seen secretly having series of meetings with the oppositions in the state come out to tarnish the good image and reputations of the Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development who has remained committed to the development of the state and the country at large”, he says.
Chief Amobi Ogah has expressed his total disappointment in B.B Apugo, a supposed senior member of the party who he alleged has been acting as a mole.
“Apugo had thought Dr Uchechukwu Ogah was the type of politician that will want to mortgage the future of the youths by coming to seat with him to discuss how the national ‘’cake’’ would be shared”, he further said.
It is on record that Dr Uchechukwu Ogah delivered and performed beyond expectations in his Local Government Area during the last general elections and has an unmatched support fan base in the state, hence, Apugo should be taking to the cleaner because he has lost political relevance in the state.
