In a report by Vanguard on Saturday, November 9, he claimed that his life has been in danger since after the council poll.

Akwu, who also claimed he won the election by a landslide but his mandate stolen, cried out for justice.

The PDP candidate, who also claimed that some security men invaded his house in the wee hours of the election day, said two of his cousins and polling agents were beaten by the invaders.

Akwu in a statement made available to Vanguard challenged Abia Deputy Governor, Ikechukwu Emetu, to explain his role in the scenario.

He called on security agencies to come to his rescue, saying he has been living in fears.

Deputy gov reacts to bold claims

Reacting, the deputy governor denied any involvement in the alleged invasion of Akwu’s home, saying the PDP candidate is just seeking cheap popularity by trying to link him with his ordeal.

The Deputy Governor who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Chukwudi Eke Mba, said:

“How can the Deputy Governor descend so low to such a person? After all, PDP is already dead in Abia. He just wants people to notice him. These days if somebody wants to make headline he will call the name of the Deputy Governor just to draw attention. All the allegations are false.”
