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.
