A former Governor of Imo State and Senator Representing the lmo West senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha, has refuted the claims that he has defected from the All Progressives Congress for the Peoples Democratic Party.
He stated this on Thursday through a press statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeod.
Okorocha said, “Our attention had been drawn to a story, claiming that the former governor of lmo State has joined the Peoples Democratic Party.
“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.”
