Ex-Imo governor denies joining APC
Former governor of Imo State, Dr. Ikedi Ohakim, has denied defecting to the ruling All Peoples Congress (APC).
The ex-governor who appreciated his friends and political associates for reaching out to find out the true position of things stated that he has joined any other political party.
Dr. Ohakim in a statement issued by Austine Otuokere, called on his teeming supporters to disregard the rumours about his purported decamping to the APC.
According to Otuokere, the former governor, “however, wishes to state, unequivocally, that he is yet to decamp to the APC or any other political party for that matter. He takes full cognizance of the fact that the current political atmosphere in the country gives room for speculations but camp changing by a person of his calibre and pedigree is not something he could smuggle into the Internet.”
“While Dr. Ohakim is also aware of the sweeping enthusiasm of Nigerians across the different states of the federation to join the ruling party, any moves by him in a similar direction must be in the full glare of all Nigerians and with the full participation of members of his political family,” Otuokere stated.
He further explained that “The former governor, therefore, wishes to seize this opportunity to enjoin his political associates, supporters and numerous admirers alike to disregard this rumor and await further possible directives and communication from him.”
