A Magistrate Court in Umuahia, Abia State, Thursday, convicted a former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Uche Ogah, for forging the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary result in the state.
The judgement followed a criminal complaint filed by the APC in the state alleging that Mr Ogah forged the party’s direct primary result sheet “with intent that it may be acted on as genuine”, despite not participating in the party’s governorship primary held on 26 May.
The plaintiff submitted that Mr Ogah’s “falsification” was detrimental to the party and Ikechi Emenike, whom the party recognises as its “authentic governorship flag bearer,” according to a report by TheCable.
