Former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Okwesilieze Nwodo, has debunked reports that he has dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Nwodo stated that as a founding member of the former ruling party, if he is to leave the party, he would go through the necessary steps to do so.
The former governor of old Enugu State disclosed in a statement issued on Monday that he still remains in the PDP.
The pioneer National Secretary of the PDP admits there are issues in the party, but said he is not leaving the PDP.
He said in the statement that it is “improper for the media to stand merely on my wife being present at a meeting that I was not, to conclude that I have joined the APC disregarding the fact that my wife as an adult has her own political life.”
“As one of the founding fathers of PDP who has held the highest office in the party, I know the statutory procedure of resigning and would willingly do that if necessary,” he said.
According to him, “I’m still a member of the PDP and has not joined the APC.”
He urged his numerous supporters across the country particularly in Enugu state to disregard the purported story as his political direction would not be hidden if the need arises.
