Former Governor of Abia State and Senator representing Abia Central at the National Assembly, Theodore Orji said that he has no plans to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All progressives Congress (APC) as being in the state.
Orji in a statement by his media adviser and legislative aide, Eddie Onuzuruike, said he wondered why he would leave PDP which he described as a peaceful house to Abia APC populated by his detractors.
The statement read: “There is no reason for Senator Orji to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“In fact, there is no reason for that. The PDP, our great party, gave him the platform for the governorship and the Senate. The same platform is ready for a second tenure.
“When the PDP was engulfed in crises he was strongly with the party and was instrumental in resolving the crises so why should he leave a peaceful house to Abia APC populated by his detractors?
“Senator Orji is an ardent believer in discipline and loyalty. Jumping from one party to another is not in his character. In truth, such actions do not convey seriousness and steadfastness, factors that he considers as sound attributes.
“He has emphatically debunked this news and clearly stated that there are no reasons whatsoever to jump ship or dump his beloved PDP.”
Similarly, the Abia lawmaker has boasted that come 2019 election, the ruling party in the state will win again.
His Aide, Suleiman Ukandu speaking against the backdrop of comments credited to some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state that they were going to reportedly use federal might to unseat him and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu PDP-led government in the upcoming 2019 election.
He said he was unperturbed by the machination of the opposition, pointing out that the people of Abia state would return him and the governor in 2019 based on their outstanding performances since assumption of office.
According to the ex-governor, “Abia is PDP. PDP is Abia. No amount of propaganda and name calling by the opposition will deter us from providing the people of the state dividends of democracy.
“I have attracted a lot of projects in Abia central senatorial zone. The people are being empowered to be self dependence. I am not worry over their evil plot, because I know the opposition has nothing to offer Abia people.
“As 2019 election is fast approaching, I believe, the people of Abia central zone and indeed Abians would massively vote for PDP, because we have delivered on our promises”.
“Every nook and crannies of Abia State has felt the impact of the government. We have carried out several infrastructural projects in the state, which well meaning Abians can testify to. So, I’m not worried,” he added
