Amobi Ogah, the member representing Abia State’s Isuikwuato/Umunneochie federal constituency, has accused some media outlets and blogs of misquoting him during interviews he granted during his election victory church thanksgiving service last Sunday.
In a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday, Ogah stated unequivocally that he never advised Labour Party presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi or the Labour Party to accept defeat as God’s will.
Amobi explained that he only asked candidates who ran against him for a House of Representatives seat to accept defeat and see his election victory as the will of God.
He further clarified that he reminded his opponents that since elections were over, it was time for good governance and delivery of democracy dividend to his people.
Ogah, who said he never mentioned the name of Peter Obi or the Labour Party, explained that he is not in any way against Peter Obi and his party, which gave him the platform to win the election, and advised his supporters and the people of Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency to ignore the news trending on social media as they are fake news and distractions.
He advised media organizations and bloggers against misinterpreting the facts, but to henceforth, cross check information about him before disseminating it to the public or be ready to face legal actions.
