Uche Ogah fires back at accusations linking him to media attacks against Senator Kalu, calling them laughable and baseless. Discover the real story behind the rising tensions in Abia North.
The political atmosphere in Abia North Senatorial Zone has been thrown into a fresh storm of controversy as Dr. Uche Ogah, former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, fires back at allegations linking him to a purported media campaign against Senator Orji Uzor Kalu.
In a strongly worded statement released by the Media Head of the Uche-Ogah Political Dynasty, Dr. Ogah categorically dismissed the claims credited to one Nnamdi Oleh, describing them as “laughable, baseless, and deserving of outright dismissal.”
According to the statement, Dr. Ogah, a man celebrated for his integrity and business success, has long moved beyond the political betrayals that marred the 2023 elections. Despite being a victim of what many described as fraudulent political manipulation during the party primaries, he has since shifted his focus entirely to his business empire and personal commitments, deliberately steering clear of Abia’s dirty political undercurrents.
The statement slammed Nnamdi Oleh, branding him a “village gossip” desperate to resuscitate a collapsed political relevance by dragging Ogah’s reputable name into fabricated stories. It pointed out that rather than achieve the intended goal of tarnishing Ogah’s image, such petty propaganda only exposes the depths to which some politicians have sunk in their quest for survival.
“If you have lost your influence and your so-called ‘customers,’ do not foolishly imagine that using Uche Ogah’s reputable name will help you revive your failed political career,” the statement declared, emphasizing that Dr. Ogah is simply unavailable for ‘gutter politics.’
Refusal to Be Dragged into the Mud
The Uche-Ogah camp maintained that their principal is too focused on higher goals and national development to concern himself with idle chatter from political jobbers scrambling for crumbs.
They stressed that Abia North constituents have grown wiser over time and can now clearly identify true contributors to their progress, without being deceived by fabricated media wars.
Rather than engage in divisive and retrogressive propaganda, Dr. Ogah has continued to champion the values of constructive engagement, mutual respect among political leaders, and collective pursuit of regional development.
“We advise those trading in cheap blackmail to find another target—Uche Ogah is too busy chasing higher ideals and is simply not available for your petty politics,” the statement further emphasized.
Call for Unity and Progress
In a final note, the Uche-Ogah Political Dynasty urged the public to disregard the baseless claims and remain committed to the bigger picture of unity, growth, and genuine development in Abia North and beyond.
They stressed that Uche Ogah remains a statesman whose focus is on building a better future for Nigerians, not indulging in distractions orchestrated by those whose political careers have sunk into oblivion.
The unfolding drama underscores the rising political tensions in Abia North, where the struggle for influence ahead of future elections is gradually heating up. However, as it stands
