The Abia State Government has dismissed allegations by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) gubernatorial candidate in the state, Etugo Ogah, that it is backing Atiku Abubakar and Chibuike Amaechi of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 presidential election.
Ogah made the claim while addressing members of his party recently. He alleged that the Abia State Government is neither supporting President Bola Tinubu nor Peter Obi, but is instead supporting Atiku Abubakar and Amaechi.
“The present government of Abia, they are not supporting Tinubu or Peter Obi, they are supporting Atiku and Amaechi and I want to reveal it to you people,” Ogah was quoted as saying.
Reacting, the Special Adviser to Governor Alex Otti on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, described Ogah as a content creator seeking relevance through unfounded statements against the governor.
Ekeoma accused the NDC candidate and some other aspirants of making “ridiculous utterances” out of fear of Governor Otti’s achievements.
He noted that Ogah had a recent opportunity to present his vision and plans to his party members but failed to do so.
“A few days ago, Mr. Ogah met with his party members and had a golden opportunity to tell them his vision and plans for the people. Unfortunately and because he has none, he spent the entire time claiming that the Government of Abia State was neither supporting Peter Obi nor President Bola Tinubu, but Atiku Abubakar,” Ekeoma said.
“That a governorship candidate would allege that an entire state government is supporting a particular presidential candidate is a grand manifestation of ignorance of tenable democratic ethos,” he added.
