The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Imo State, Wednesday, debunked claims in some sections of the media that former Governor Emeka Ihedioha intends
According to a statement by Ogubundu Nwadike, State Publicity Secretary of the party, made available to INNONEWS, he said “Rt Hon Ihedioha, a life member of the National Executive Committee, NEC of our party, is a consequential stakeholder and leader whose loyalty and commitment to the PDP since it’s formation, has never been called to question. His integrity quotient has been tested and proven. It may be necessary to remind that it was via PDP that he has served our country in various high offices, including Chief Whip, Deputy Speaker and Speaker of the House of Representatives and only recently,elected Governor of Imo State overwhelmingly by the people of Imo State”
The PDP said Ihedioha’s has no reasons to contemplate such action
“We not only declare unequivocally that Rt Hon.Emeka Ihedioha has no plans to leave our dear party, we authoritatively add that he and other leaders of our party in the State has no reason to contemplate such action”
The party blamed fifth Columnists for sponsoring fake news against the former Governor of Imo State
“We are not oblivious of the clandestine efforts by fifth Columnists who have perpetually lost sleep over the goodwill, respect and massive support Rt Hon Ihedioha enjoys in the State and across the country. The good news is that the sponsors of the joke, are not unknown to Imolites and Nigerians. Without any need to yet publish their identities, we will only only assure them their pettiness is inconsequential”
