Ex-LP chair denies alleged sponsorship of IPOB, threatens legal action
Court gavel



A former acting state chairman of the Labour Party in Abia State, Kelechi Madugba has described as untrue a petition/publication alleging that he sponsors the activities of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra.

In a statement made available to South East Punch in Umuahia, the state capital, Madugba insisted that he is neither a sponsor nor a sympathiser of IPOB.

He added that he does not know any member of the group and has never interacted with any known IPOB member.

Madugba maintained that the publication or petition was false, baseless and orchestrated by his suspected political enemies.

The statement reads, “I was a former acting state chairman of the Labour Party in Abia State, a former candidate under the Accord Party for the House of Representatives, and a former candidate for the same position under the New Nigeria Peoples Party for Isialangwa North/South federal constituency in the last 2023 general elections.

“I am a successful businessman and a decent political personality who has held many public offices, including acting chairman of national political parties, and candidate of national political parties for the House of Representatives, among others.

“More so, I have contributed immensely as a community builder where I have fostered unity and progress above all for the development of my state and Nigeria as a whole because I strongly believe in One Nigeria.
