The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 2023 general election in Ebonyi State, Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, has dismissed claims that he is planning to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Odii was reacting to public remarks credited to the chairman of APC in Ebonyi State, Stanley Okoro Emegha, suggesting that he is considering a move to join the party.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Odii dismissed such claims, saying categorically that he has not seen any compelling reason that would warrant such a decision.
The statement read: “Let me categorically state that I am not considering joining the APC, now or in the foreseeable future. I am yet to see any compelling reason, ideological, political, or developmental, that would warrant such a decision.
“My commitment remains firmly with the ideals of purposeful leadership, people-oriented governance, and genuine democratic progress. These values continue to guide my actions and political engagements. I believe in building a society anchored on justice, equity, and service, not opportunism or political convenience.
“While I acknowledge Mr Emegha’s right to express his opinions and promote his party, I urge political actors, especially those in leadership positions, to refrain from speculative statements that may mislead the public or distort the political landscape of Ebonyi State.”
