A factional chairman of the Labour Party in Nasarawa State, Alexander Ombugu, has cried out that his life is in danger.
Speaking to newsmen in Lafia on Saturday, Ombugu called on security agencies to provide him with protection and investigate the matter.
According to him, the threats might be connected to his position on issues that arose during the party’s recently concluded primary elections in the state.
He declined to identify those he suspected to be behind the alleged threats, saying such information would be better disclosed to security agencies to avoid compromising investigations.
He appealed to security agencies in the state to provide him with adequate security and immediately investigate the matter.
“The whole issue is because I am standing by the truth, and some people within and outside the party are not happy about it.
“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 said.
