The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Abia state, Professor Selina
Oko has raised an alarm over death threats she has received following
the inconclusive governorship election conducted in the state on April
11th. In an interview with Punch, Professor Oko said she has received
threats of how she will be assassinated
"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 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.
