Tension is simmering in Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency following allegations by Labour Party's House of Representatives candidate, Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh, that Hon. Comrade Chinedu Ogah is interfering in local politics. Ezeh accused Ogah, who represents Ikwo/Ezza South, of overstepping his bounds and fueling crises in Izhiland.
Speaking to journalists, Ezeh claimed Ogah's recent involvement in securing bail for two men arrested over alleged threats to his life was a deliberate attempt to disrupt peace.
"This isn't the first time Ogah has meddled in Izhiland affairs," Ezeh said, demanding to know why the lawmaker is "sowing crisis" in a constituency he doesn't represent.
Ezeh, visibly agitated, vowed to petition the House of Representatives Speaker, accusing Ogah of abuse of privilege and obstruction of justice. "No lawmaker is above the law," he warned.
Ogah's associates countered that his actions were humanitarian, with no political motive. Political analysts see the clash as a sign of intensifying 2027 election rivalries. Residents are calling for calm and urging security agencies to investigate without interference.
The dispute highlights growing tensions in Ebonyi's political landscape. Hon. Ogah has yet to publicly respond to the allegations.
