Imo West Senator, Rochas Okorocha, has denied defecting from
the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Okorocha accused the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma of
blackmailing him with reports of defecting to PDP.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media, Sam
Onwuemedo, the former Imo State governor vowed never to dump APC due to
Uzodinma’s alleged blackmail.
According to Okorocha, the report of his defection to PDP was false.
He claimed that the reconciliation committee set up by APC
was responsible for the report by Uzodinma.
The governor also anchored his defection reports to his
recent visit to APC’s National Secretariat with those who made the party a
stronghold in the state.
A statement by Onwuemeodo reads: “Governor Hope Uzodinma can
not and will not blackmail Senator Rochas Okorocha out of the All Progressives
Congress, APC. Governor Uzodinma was behind the fake story of Senator Rochas
Okorocha leaving the APC for the PDP, last Monday.
“He had come up with the fake story of Okorocha leaving APC
because the National Secretariat of the Party had set up a reconciliation
committee.
“And also because of Okorocha’s visit to the National Office
of the Party, with men and women who had sacrificed all they had, to make APC
the Party to beat in Imo. And with National Assembly members who have the
mandate of the people.”
The senator recalled that Uzodinma was never an APC member
but joined the party after Supreme Court’s ruling in the party’s governorship
candidate in 2019.
