Kelechi Madugba, a former acting state chairman of the Labour Party in Abia State has dismissed the allegations that he sponsors the activities of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra.

He clarified the allegations in Umuahia, the state capital insisting that he is neither a sponsor nor a sympathiser of IPOB.

He stressed that he doesn't know any group members and has never interacted with them.

According to him, he maintained the publication is false, baseless and orchestrated by his suspected political enemies.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I have herein published all my account details for anyone who cares to crosscheck if any of my accounts, both company and individual, has since the past seven years received any money capable of sponsoring a separatist movement such as IPOB.

“The accounts are as follows: Gemnka Limited – UBA: 1016522047/2063349124; First Bank Plc: 2023824579; Heritage Bank: 51002000759 and Ecobank: 1280005762.

“This public notice shall serve as my official/ public response to these baseless allegations. I have already instructed my team of lawyers to take necessary action for damages.

“I, therefore, urge members of the public to ignore and disregard the publication in its entirety.

“It is misleading and deliberately intended to smear my hard-earned reputation.

“I feel obliged to let those detractors know that I have paid my dues in wherever duty calls upon me in Nigeria both in the business sector as the CEO and Chairman of Gemka Oils and Gas Limited with engagement as director in other companies operating successful business here across the country and also in the political sector.”
