Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has rubbished reports that he will dump the All Progressive Congress (APC) for The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The Governor through his media spokeperson described the report credited to a “faceless group”, the Imo Progressives and Consultative Assembly, signed by two “fictitious persons”, Nze Benjamin Irohah and Benjamin Ogoke as coordinator and secretary, as unfounded and malicious, The Nation reports.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, Gov Okorocha said the intention of the report was to cause disaffection in the APC.
“It shows the pitiable level the PDP has degenerated into in Imo State. They do these into deceive the President by giving him a wrong picture of the status of the party in the state. If truth is sacred, then we owe Nigerians the truth, and the truth on this matter is that Governor Okorocha has never contemplated leaving the APC, and to say the least, joining the PDP.”
“The Imo PDP came up with the cock and bull story a few days after the wedding, just to undermine its success,” he added.
Mr Sam Onwuemeodo said the reason for such false claims by PDP was because Okorocha maintains a cordial relationship with PDP governors and has no rift with President Jonathan, adding: “Politics does not make people enemies.”
