The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has denied reports making the rounds that he has announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to Action Alliance, AA.
The report had it that the Governor made his decision to dump the ruling APC to join his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu public during the New Year Crossover Service in Government House.
But in a press statement signed by Sam Onwuemeodo, his Chief Press Secretary, on Wednesday, Okorocha refuted the viral report.
The statement said, “An amusing tale with the referenced caption has been trending on the social media for days now.
“And those behind the balderdash said that the governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has announced his defection from APC to AA to join his son-in-law, Uche Nwosu during the New Year Crossover Service in Government House.
“Now our response to the unfounded story: Imo people do not support stolen tickets and that is why all those who stole the guber tickets of their parties for the 2019 election cannot fly.
“They have become stranded and looking for who to blame for their woes or misfortune. They know this fact. Imo people do not support anything stolen. That was the reason they dealt with 419ers in 1997.
“It was out of frustration that those concerned came up with the story of Governor Okorocha leaving APC for AA, which is not true.
“With the ill-gotten ticket they have also seen that the sound of bitter-kola in the mouth does not reflect its real taste."
