Enugu 2015: Ayogu Eze debunks allegation of result forgery

The Sen. Ayogu Eze Governorship Campaign Organisation has reacted to an allegation by the PDP in Enugu State that its candidate forged the result of the December 8, 2014 governorship primary in Enugu State, describing the allegation as wild and contempt of the court.
In a statement, titled, “Who’s afraid of Sen. Ayogu Eze”, the organisation insisted that its candidate is the duly elected candidate in the December 8, 2014 primary.
Saying that its candidate was elected by the authentic delegates elected on November 1, 2014 and validated by an Abuja High Court, the organisation wondered why the PDP in Enugu State rushed to court on December 9, a day after the primary to stop its candidate from parading himself as the candidate.
“Why did they rush to court to stop our candidate if they truly believe the result of the election was forged?” the organisation asked in the statement signed by its Director of Legal Services, Barr. Kingsley Onyeke.
The organisation said the panel that conducted the kangaroo primary that Mr. Asogwa referred to in his reckless statement admitted in the full glare of the press that it came with a forged delegates list.
“It is the likes of Mr. Asogwa and all the people involved in subverting the will of the people by forging a delegates list after the PDP in Enugu State had told the whole world it did not participate in the congress that brought the delegates that should be handed over to the police”, the statement said.
Describing the allegation by Ikeje Asogwa, whom the organisation said is not the chairman of the PDP in Enugu State, as part of the desperate campaign to intimidate its candidate out of the 2015 governorship race in Enugu State, the statement said its candidate would never succumb to blackmail.
“Our candidate is determined to unfold his programme of physical transformation and spiritual rebirth for the people of Enugu State and no threat or blackmail will take him off that course “, the organisation said.
The organisation said it was refraining from going into details in its response since the matter under discussion is a subject of litigation at an Enugu State High Court as well as a Federal High Court in Abuja.
It described Mr. Asogwa’s misguided allegation as an affront on the judiciary, which it said is the only institution that can make a pronouncement on the matter as it stands now.
