Last week Friday former Abia State House of Assembly speaker and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Stanley Ohajiriuka, warned former governor, Chief Theodore Amaefula Orji against joining the ruling party. Speaking with newsmen after Abia State APC caucus meeting in Umuahia, Ohajiriuka had stated that Senator Orji’s governance style while serving as Abia State governor was largely due to his leverage on the former president, Goodluck Jonathan and his wife, Patience and any that attempt to join the ruling party would amount to betrayal. In a swift response to the report, the former governor and senator representing Abia North Central District, Chief Theodore Orji, opened up on his rejection by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“I have no intention of jettisoning my relationship with the party, not now, not tomorrow. I love my party,” he said.
According to Orji; “Let me tell you, if I decide to leave my party, the party I will join will be very happy because of my antecedent. “I have a track record of success as a civil servant and in politics; I have electoral value, unlike those who are spent forces in all ramifications of their lives. So, don’t mind them, they just want me to notice them.”
Orji said people from the South-East leaving the PDP did so for personal reasons, stressing that Nigerians could serve Nigeria, irrespective of political inclination.
“Those who are leaving the party, citing party problems as a reason, are not sincere, which is most uncharitable, especially when majority of them have benefitted hugely from it,” he said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
