Ogah, who represents the Ikwo/Ezza South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, dismissed Cubana Chief Priest's comments as having no electoral value or political relevance. He defended Nwifuru, asserting that the governor has achieved significant milestones and significantly transformed the state more than any other governor in Nigeria. Ogah rejected the criticism as unacceptable and demanded an immediate apology from the celebrity socialite, threatening legal action if the request was not met. He also accused Cubana Chief Priest of insulting Ebonyians and undermining political stakeholders in the state. The lawmaker called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate Cubana Chief Priest's financial and business activities, alleging potential involvement in money laundering.",
