The Campaign Organisation of Hon Johnson Oghuma, today debunked the rumour making the rounds that he, Oghuma, would testify against his party, All Progressives Congress (APC), if he failed to clinch the party’s ticket re-run for the Etsako House Representative election.

According to Ceoafrica, Oghuma, a former lawmaker is among other aspirants seeking to contest the vacant Etsako rep seat which was earlier occupied by Edo Deputy Governor, Hon Phillip Shaibu as Oshiomole’s son who had earlier indicated interest to contest the primary stepped down to support Oghuma as the party’s choice.

The report which regarded as rumour, was published on a news platform as “ Agbomhere, Oghuma battle for APC ticket” , it also quoted an unnamed site by saying that he Oghuma would  work against the party at the tribunal because he is a witness”.

However in a swift reaction, in a statement signed by Hon Johnson Oghuma said the write up is again another handiwork of a particular aspirant to tarnish his hard earned reputation and create bad blood between him and the leaders of the party adding that those who do not have what it takes to win election always resort to campaign of calumny to achieve their aims.

The statement added “I want to categorically state that there is no element of fact in the said publication whatsoever. As a loyal party man, I have remained consistent and committed to the APC, since I joined the party. I have always worked and believe in the ideal of the party as a progressive.

“For those who know me, as a Pastor in the Lord’s vineyard, I cannot be associated with any action that would undermine popularly earn victory.

Other aspirants in the race include , Professor Waziri Erameh, John Akhigbe, Joseph Ugheoke and Blessing Agbomhere.
