Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra State has lambasted Gov. Rochas Okorocha of Imo State for spreading lies that he is decamping from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Mr James Eze, the Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Anambra governor issued a statement on behalf of his boss: “It is totally false and does not have the slightest semblance of truth. It is strange how a clique of internally displaced politicians continue to circulate spurious and misleading information on a non-existent and sensational figment of their imagination in order to sow confusion among the populace.”

“In spite of repeated dismissal of this false report in the past, these vendors of untruth have continued to plant misleading information in the media about a false defection of the governor to one party today and another party tomorrow. Nevertheless, we are not unaware that a major motive for the planting of these lies is to distract the governor from focusing on his job and consequently derail the steady and assured March of Anambra State to prosperity. So, we shall continue to rebute their malignant lies and save the populace from their corrosive influence.”

“We therefore advise all mischief-makers and authoritative speculators to desist from further efforts to create the impression that Obiano has jumped political ship as it only creates doubts. We also advise APGA supporters, Anambra citizens and the general public to be mindful of any reports alleging that Obiano has either decamped or is planning to decamp.”
