A former Governor of Imo State and Senator Representing the
lmo West senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha, has denied dumping the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) contrary to reports in some sections of the media.
In a statement issued Thursday by his Special Adviser on
Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha said he has not joined the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP).
Okorocha explained that on Friday, December 30, 2022,
Kingsley Uju, representing Ohaji-Egbema/Oguta/Oru West Federal Constituency,
buried his mother at Egbema and he only attended the event.
He noted that a burial ceremony could not have become a
political declaration rally, insisting he was still in the APC.
The lawmaker described those behind the story as mischief
makers.
Okorocha said: “Our attention had been drawn to a story,
claiming that the former governor of lmo State has joined the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
“We appeal that the general public disregard the story of
Okorocha joining the PDP. lt 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.”
