The member-elect to the represent Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu, has dismissed allegations of sexual harassment and attempted wife snatching leveled against him by a political rival, Mr. Anthony Nnabuife Elue, and amplified by the Human Rights Writers Association (HURIWA). A statement issued on Wednesday by the

Director General of Ndudi Elumelu Campaign Organisation, Hon. Anene Chigbue, described the allegations as “preposterous and baseless.”

The statement said that Elue’s petition against Elumelu “is targeted at tarnishing and blemishing his impeccable and upright reputation, not just as a responsible family man and devout Christian, but sadly as a beloved representative of the gentle and good people of Aniocha/Oshimili whom he had served gallantly and with great distinction for two meritoriously terms at the Federal House of Representatives.”

“The entire petition by the said Mr. Anthony Nnabuife Elue, is not just a big tissue of lies and a litany of preposterous and baseless allegations, the subsumed intent of the petition reeks of an oozing and putrid defamation agenda, targeted at tarnishing and blemishing the impeccable and upright reputation of Rt. Hon Ndudi Elumelu, not just as a responsible family man and devout Christian, but sadly as a beloved representative of the gentle and good people of Aniocha/Oshimili whom he had served gallantly and with great distinction for two meritoriously terms at the Federal House of Representatives from 2007 - 2015 and who has now been reelected by an overwhelming landslide majority by his constituents to go and deliver the quality representation they had so dearly been denied of in the short period of his absence from the House of Representatives,” Chigbue said in the statement.
