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.'
