High Chief Raymond Ofoegbu, popularly known as Onyinye Ohuhu, has responded to a poster currently circulating on social media alleging that he is contesting for the Umuahia State Constituency seat under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement made available to newsmen in Umuahia, Onyinye Ohuhu dismissed the poster as false and described it as the handiwork of distractors seeking to mislead the public.
He clarified that he has not officially declared any political ambition ahead of the 2027 general elections and urged his supporters and the public to disregard the poster.
According to him, while he appreciates the confidence and calls from supporters urging him to contest, it is still premature to make such declarations, particularly as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not yet lifted the ban on electioneering activities.
Ofoegbu noted that when the time is right, he would clearly communicate his intentions to his supporters and the people of Ohuhu and beyond.
He further advised political actors to focus on issues that promote development and unity rather than spreading misinformation capable of causing unnecessary political tension.
The community leader reiterated his commitment to the progress and development of Ohuhu and Umuahia at large, stressing that his passion for service to the people remains unflinching
Onyinye Ohuhu therefore called on the public to verify information before sharing it on social media, urging his supporters to remain calm and focused while awaiting any official communication regarding his political future.
