Uche Ogah who arrived Umuahia with the certificate of return issued to him by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reportedly gone into hiding to avoid any attacks from his political rivals.
This was revealed by his aide, Peter Kalu.
Kalu further disclosed that Ogah has been receiving death threats from different quarters.
The electoral body’s decision to issue a certificate of return to Ogah was based on an Abuja High court ruling ordering the Abia Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu to vacate office.
The incumbent governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has however refused to vacate office, saying he had alredy appealed the judgment that has withdrawn his certificate of return.
PDP members in Abia have described the judgment of the Federal High Court,which ordered that Sampson Ogah be sworn in as “a rape of democracy”
The added that they are ready to die to ensure Sampson Ogah doesn’t become the next governor of the state.
