Nasarawa LP faction chairman warns his life is in danger.

A factional chairman of the Labour Party in Nasarawa State, Alexander Ombugu, has warned that his life is at risk.

Speaking to reporters in Lafia on Saturday, Ombugu urged security agencies to provide him with protection and to investigate the threats.

He said the danger may be linked to his stance on matters that surfaced during the party’s recently concluded primary elections in the state.

Ombugu declined to name the individuals he suspects of orchestrating the threats, stating that such details should be given directly to security agencies to avoid compromising the investigation.

He called on state security forces to offer him adequate protection and to launch an immediate inquiry into the situation.

“The whole issue is because I am standing by the truth, and some people within and outside the party are not happy about it,” he said.

“Today, my wife returned from where she went to buy something and was crying profusely. When I asked what had happened, she informed me that rumours that I will soon be attacked have already been spread everywhere.”

“I tried to plead with her to calm down, but she continued crying, probably because of how she received the information.”

“The fact is that I have not done anything wrong to anyone since I joined active politics. In carrying out my duties, I have always followed the laws guarding the Labour Party and our dear country, Nigeria.”

“Therefore, I am appealing to the security agencies for adequate security coverage, and that a proper investigation into this matter should be carried out so that my life can be protected,” he added.
