Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has pleaded with Dr. Uche Ogah, former minister of state for Steel and Mines Development, to drop all court cases he filed over the Abia state governorship primaries and meet with him to discuss the matter.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Ogah had previously filed a suit challenging the party’s governorship candidate, Ikechi Emenike.
At the Abia State APC presidential and governorship campaign flag-off at the Umuahia township stadium on Tuesday, Tinubu explained that his position on the governorship dispute is clear to all because Chief Ikechi Emenike has received the party’s governorship flag and should be supported to win the election.
His words;
Two persons are in court over our governorship flag. But whether they are in court or not, my position is that Chief Ikechi Emenike has gotten the governorship flag of our party and will be supported to win the election.
Dr. Uche Ogah is my friend and a member of our party. Please stop all court actions and come and see me. Let’s discuss this matter in our living room. We are the politicians. We put the parties together to salvage Nigeria from hunger, destitution and ignorance. Why are you taking me to third parties who are politically neutral? Please, let’s talk this matter over.
