Okorocha Speaks On Dumping APC For PDP

A former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha on Thursday spoke on dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Okorocha while reacting to the report that he had dumped the ruling party, noted that he remains a member of the APC.

The lawmaker representing Imo West senatorial district stated this in a statement released through his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo.

The former governor noted that he only attended the burial of the mother of the lawmaker representing Ohaji-Egbema/Oguta/Oru West Federal Constituency, Kingsley Uju on the 30th of December 2022.

Okorocha noted that the burial ceremony could not be termed as a political declaration rally, insisting he was still in the APC.

The lawmaker described those behind the story as mischief makers.

He said, “Our attention had been drawn to a story, claiming that the former governor of Imo State has joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

We appeal that the general public disregard the story of Okorocha joining the PDP. It is not true. The photographs attached to the false story are not evil since politics is not war. Nor a do-or-die venture.

“Our only concern was the virus some mischief makers tried to inject into the innocent photographs, taken at Uju’s mother’s burial, without malice or those involved being conscious of which political parties all those at the burial in question, belong.

“Those behind this false story deliberately failed or refused to mention the venue and title of the event, where the photographs were taken. They could not also quote a portion of Okorocha’s speech that he must have made at the so-called event.”
