Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has denied reports making the rounds that he has decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This was contained in a statement, yesterday, signed by his media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, and made available to The Guardian.
The Senator, who represents Imo West Senatorial District, urged people to disregard the purported story. The statement reads: “Our attention had been drawn to a story claiming that Okorocha has joined the PDP.
“They deliberately failed to mention the venue and the event where the photograph was taken. They could not also quote a portion of Okorocha’s speech, since he is not a dumb man, and must have made a speech at the event. Explaining how the report came about, the statement added: “On Friday, December 30, 2022, Kingsley Uju, representing Ohaji-Egbema/Oguta/Oru West Federal Constituency, buried the mother, Lolo Caroline Uju, at her Home town, Egbema.
“Okorocha was also instrumental to his going to the House of Representatives on the platform of APC.” The statement maintained that Uju joined PDP when he discovered that his second term ticket could not be guaranteed in APC, noting that he succeeded in getting the PDP ticket.
