The Chief Medical Director of University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, UPTH, Professor Henry Ugboma, has said that his life has been under serious threat since he started mobilising support for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Professor Ugboma who spoke to Daily Trust in Port Harcourt, said those after his life were politicians from Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, where he comes from, who he said are not happy over his support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) led Federal Government in the LGA.
He said he has received series of telephone threats from politicians questioning the rationale behind his support for President Buhari and APC.
He accused those he described as the masterminds of insecurity and killings in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, where he claimed many lives were lost, as being responsible for the threat to his life.
He however said no matter the threat he will not relent in mobilizing support for President Buhari in his local government area.
“Recently we mentioned the names of the sponsors of the killings and everybody knows them. The people are still around threatening. I heard they threatened they will kill me,” he said.
