Less than 24 hours to the governorship and House of Assembly elections, the Ebonyi State chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Tochukwu
Okorie has rejected its party’s gubernatorial candidate, Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii and instead backs the rotation of power to Ebonyi North senatorial zone.
“It has been generally agreed that it is only fair that Ebonyi North should produce the next governor in the spirit of equity. I hereby lend my voice in calling on the few who are yet to fully grasp the importance of this decision to join hands in ensuring that we do not mortgage the future by subverting the power equation of the state as conceived by our founding fathers,” he said.
The embattled state PDP chairman made this known through a statement signed and issued to newsmen in Abakaliki. Okorie, however, counterclaimed: “I am not in court with their victim ; my claims have always been against an imposter and usurper who they were using as a tool to destabilise the party and weaken the political base of the leader of the party so as to pave the way for a certain presidential candidate.”
