Federal lawmaker representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency, Hon. Amobi Ogah, has broken his silence following his purported suspension from the Labour Party, describing the action as meaningless and politically inconsequential.
Reacting to the announcement made on Tuesday, Hon. Ogah said the suspension was orchestrated by those unsettled by the wave of positive change currently sweeping across Abia State under the leadership of Governor Alex Otti.
“The so-called suspension means absolutely nothing to me,” Ogah said in a statement. “I remain a servant of the people who elected me. My loyalty to Governor Alex Otti and his transformational agenda in Abia is total and unshakable.”
Hon. Ogah, who was among six senior members suspended for alleged anti-party activities, dismissed the disciplinary process as a smokescreen by a faction within the party trying to distract the public from pressing internal issues.
“This is clearly the handiwork of people threatened by Governor Otti’s success. But let me assure them—no amount of intimidation or political drama can derail the new Abia we are building,” he said.
The lawmaker hailed Governor Otti’s leadership as exemplary, describing him as the best thing to have happened to Abia in decades. “I am with him full time. The people are with us, and our mission to deliver good governance remains on course,” Ogah declared.
Observers believe the suspension saga has deepened the existing factional cracks within the Labour Party, especially in Abia State where Governor Otti and Hon. Ogah enjoy overwhelming grassroots support.
Calling on his constituents and supporters to remain calm, Ogah reaffirmed his commitment to delivering quality representation and legislative service.
“I will not be distracted. The people of Isuikwuato and Umunneochi sent me to the National Assembly, and I remain focused on that assignment,” he added.
Despite the Labour Party’s announcement, Ogah insists that his mandate remains intact and his alignment with Governor Otti’s administration is stronger than ever.
