Okorocha
noted that those behind the rumored defection merely went to town with a
“false story” relying on a photograph of him and some PDP chieftains taken at
a public ceremony in Imo State recently.
The statement read in
part, “Our attention has been drawn to a story claiming that
Okorocha
has joined the PDP. To add flesh to the false story, those behind it also
attached some photographs of Okorocha and a chieftain of the PDP, Emeka
lhedioha and others.

“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. They concealed or
withheld those vital aspects of the event or story, because they would not
serve their aim or goal.
“We are at ease to say that
Okorocha
has not joined the PDP. He is still a member of the APC. A burial ceremony
could not have become political declaration rally.”
