Professor Selina Oko, the Resident Electoral
Commissioner in Abia state, has raised an alarm over death threats she has
received following the inconclusive governorship election conducted in the
state on April 11th. Professor Oko said :
"Yes, I have been
getting calls threatening my life. I have been getting text messages about how
they will shoot me through the window of my car. Yes, I have told the security
agencies that my life is being threatened" she said. Continue...
Responding
to allegations, the state PDP governorship candidate Dr Okezie Ikpeazu said that
she is an aunt to the APGA candidate, Alex Otti and is working in favor of him
to win, Professor Oko said that is not true. She slammed the PDP Publicity
Secretary, Olisa Metuh for carrying this unverified claims.
"He is a liar. He
does not know me. I did not know Otti until I came to Abia. I think Otti is
from Abia. I am from Afikpo in Ebonyi State. He should go to Afikpo and trace
my linage and see whether there is any link at all between me and Otti. I have
never known Otti until this time. They are cooking up stories just to whip up
sentiments. Besides if I am Otti’s aunt why should I then collect N300 million
from him? One of such people whose allegation I read in black and white is the
so-called National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Olisa Metuh. He said I am
related to Otti. How can somebody at his level get information and not bother
to verify it? All he did was to rush to the media and put it in black and
white. There is something wrong with him. He is not fit to be a leader"
she said.
