Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has denied dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement issued on Sunday by Okorocha’s Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, on Sunday, the governor said that the pictorial image being circulated on the social media, depicting his discussions with some Officials of the PDP, to join the party, is not true.

Okorocha urged the public to disregard such picture, accusing his political detractors as being behind such postings, clarifying that the picture in question was taken long ago. He said:

“This photograph is as old as the APC government, in 2015. But those who were declared winner of the Governorship election in lmo, with votes from the three Local Councils of Mbaise, have been making fruitless efforts to blackmail Governor Rochas Okorocha, to see if that could help them go free with their Electoral fraud. They posted this picture on social media, with badly written statement and falsely claiming that the Governor was in a PDP meeting today.”

Okorocha added: “I am optimistic that any stolen mandate will be retrieved at the appropriate time
