I never said Peter Obi should accept defeat – LP Rep member


 

Member representing Isuikwuato-Umunneochi federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Chief Amobi Ogah (Labour Party),  has denied urging the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to accept defeat and withdraw his petition against the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, now pending before the Election Petition Tribunal Court.

 

The LP lawmaker who made the rebuttal in a press statement, accused blackmailers of peddling the falsehood to pitch him against his party and teeming supporters.

 

He urged members of the public to disregard social media reports purporting that he made such call during his recent thanksgiving church service.

 

The lawmaker in a statement he personally signed, said he was quoted out of context by mischief makers.

 

The statement made available to Vanguard read in part:” My attention has been drawn to the misleading publications in some media houses and blogs misquoting me as having  admonished Peter Obi and Labour party to accept defeat as will of God.

 

“Given this unwholesome publication, I wish to make it abundantly clear to the public that what I said was that those candidates like APC -Hon Nkeiruka Onyejeocha and others  who contested election with me in my federal constituency should accept defeat because my election victory is the will of God.  I said that if they didn’t win today, they could win tomorrow.

 

” I  said that the time of election had come and gone. Now it’s time for good governance and delivery of democracy dividends to the people.

 

” I never mentioned Peter Obi but mischief makers are twisting my statement. How can I be against Peter Obi the presidential candidate of the party that gave me its platform?”

 

Rep Ogah who is the younger brother of a former Minister of State for Solid Minerals and Steel Development, Dr Uche Ogah, urged his constituents and members of the public to disregard the misleading reports which he dismissed as fake news.
