Okorocha dismisses defection rumour, reaffirms support for APC

Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, says he has no intention of dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC) for another political party.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media, Sam Onwuemeodo, the former Imo West Senator rubbished the speculation, assuring his teeming fans of his continuous support for the ruling party.

Okorocha also urged his fans to ignore recent reports which claimed that APC is desperate to hijack power, describing such reports as the handwork of his political enemies who are bent on causing cracks in the party.

He declared that he would never head to social media to make such derogatory statement against a party where he is regarded as one of the founding fathers.

“Okorocha would never describe a party that has been in government since 2015, and still counting, as ‘desperate to hijack power.’ What power again? “Okorocha remains a bonafide, committed member of the APC. He never made the statement being circulated by those envious of his political journey,” the statement reads.

Okorocha stressed that he had risked his re-election in 2015 as the only sitting governor from the South-East to join the APC during its formation, at a time when the party had little support in the region.
