Adolphus Ude, the pioneer deputy chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, has alleged that the current state party chairman, Ugochukwu Agballah and the governorship candidate, Uche Nnaji, are plotting to kill him.
In a statement to newsmen on Friday, Ude stated that Agballah and Nnaji are engaging in desperate plots to kill him for staging a protest against them at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
While calling on President Muhammadu Buhari; the National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Adamu; the Inspector-General of Police, Alkali Baba Usman and the Director-General of the Department of State Security, Yusuf Bichi, to save his life, he said the duo should be blamed if anything happens to him.
He said, “This is to alert Nigerians and security agencies to the many threats to my life since I led the protest by Concerned Enugu APC members to the national secretariat of our party against the impunity, gross misconducts, divisiveness, maladministration by Chief Ugochukwu Agballah and the governorship candidate, Chief Uche Nnaji.

“We also protested against a situation where the real deputy governorship candidate of the party on INEC website is Chief Robert Ngwu, who is from the same senatorial zone as the governorship candidate, whereas they are deceiving the people of Enugu by showcasing Chief George Ogara from Enugu North as the deputy governorship candidate.
“I have no other persons to hold responsible for these numerous threats to my life except Ugochukwu Agballah and Uche Nnaji.”
However, the state APC chairman. reacting to the allegation through his Special Adviser on Media, Kenneth Ofoma, denied the allegation while describing Ude as an attention seeker.
Agballah maintained that the new APC in Enugu State was focused on ensuring victory for all their candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
