(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has opened up concerning the rumour of his alleged plan to dump the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

Okorocha was reported to have stated that some aggrieved members of the APC may join another force before 2023.

However, the Imo West Senator when he addressed the State Working Committee (SWC) members, zonal, LGA and ward executives of the faction of the APC under his leadership, stated that he is still a member of the party and he has no plans of leaving as no one in APC has more stakes than him.

Okorocha urged the public to disregard the speculations.

“I have not left APC. I am still in APC. Nobody has stakes in APC more than me. The worst insults I had in Imo and in the South-East in 2015 was because of APC and President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.

“APC was formed by President Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, myself and a few other people. But those on the congratulation trip have taken over the party.

“Our Party is APC. Don’t be confused when I say that there were bad people and good people in both APC and PDP. And that the good people in the two Parties should come together for the good of the nation. I was talking about a movement and not a party.”
