Tension is rising in the Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency as Labour Party House of Representatives candidate, Dr. Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh, has issued a forceful public warning to Hon. Comrade Chinedu Ogah, alleging persistent interference in the political affairs of Izhiland.

In a briefing with journalists in Abakaliki, Dr. Ezeh accused the lawmaker who currently represents Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency of overreaching his mandate and “deliberately fanning the embers of crisis” in a constituency he does not represent.

The latest provocation, according to Ezeh, is Ogah’s alleged involvement in securing bail for two men who were earlier arrested for allegedly issuing threats to his life.

While the details of the case remain under police investigation, Ezeh said the development was “deeply suspicious and politically motivated.”

“This is not the first time Hon. Ogah has inserted himself into matters that concern only the Izhi people,” Ezeh stated solemnly.

“Why is it always him whenever harm is plotted against me? Why does he meddle in Izhi politics and sow crisis in Izhiland?”

Witnesses at the briefing described Ezeh as visibly upset, his voice rising at intervals as he recounted what he called a “pattern of interference” that has allegedly destabilized political engagements in the constituency.

He insisted that Ogah’s actions have created unnecessary tension among stakeholders and disrupted ongoing reconciliation efforts within Izhi communities.

Ezeh further alleged that the intervention by Ogah amounts to obstruction of justice, claiming that the bail secured for the two suspects could compromise the ongoing investigation.

Though he provided no documentary evidence during the briefing, he maintained that Ogah’s involvement was inappropriate for a lawmaker outside the constituency.

The Labour Party Chieftain announced his intention to take the matter before the Speaker of the House of Representatives, where he plans to submit a formal petition accusing Ogah of abuse of privilege and deliberate interference in a constituency matter.

“No National Assembly member is above the law. If Hon. Ogah believes he can use his office to shield suspects or intimidate political opponents, he will soon discover that our democracy has checks and consequences,” he declared.

Political analysts in Ebonyi say the clash reflects the deepening rivalry and shifting power blocs as the 2027 elections approach. While Hon. Ogah has not publicly responded to the allegations, his associates insist the lawmaker only intervened in the matter on humanitarian grounds and deny any political motive.

As the political temperature continues to rise, residents of Abakaliki/Izzi are urging both leaders to embrace dialogue and allow security agencies to conclude their investigations without interference.
