The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) zonal Chairman, Chief Austin Umahi yesterday debunked in strong terms the media reports alleging that two PDP Governors from the region have concluded plans to ditch the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Chief Austin Umahi in a press statement signed by him, described the report as a mere tissue of lies coming from a non existent group and therefore urged the public to disregard such lies.
He noted that he is reacting to put the record straight, not to misinform the general public, adding that he wouldn’t have ordinarily dissipated any energy reacting to a rant of one Okechukwu Isiguzoro and his cohorts having been properly briefed of their stock in trade since after they were shamed out of the authentic Youth Wing of Ohanaeze World wide for their nefarious activities years ago.
He however warned Okechukwu Isiguzoro and his cohorts to desist from spooing false rumor, castigating and/or blackmailing higly respected Igbo leaders including the State Governors of the zone using the name of Ohanaeze.
Chief Austin maintained that there is no oita of truth whosoever in the reports circulating in the media that two PDP Governors from the zone had concluded plans to dump the party for APC; as it is wholly a figment of the imagination of Isiguzoro Okechukwu and his cohorts.
According to him, the four PDP Governors in the zone are fully committed to the party, noting that its laughable for mischief makers to link any of them with defection, simply to score cheap political point.

The Chairman further noted that the PDP Governors in liaison with the leadership of the party in the zone would continue to work to ensure that the zone is in total control and prepared to take over Anambra state next year.
He recalled that before 2019 general elections, there were similar speculations and rumors about PDP Governors in the zone, but all of it turned out to be conjectures from mischief makers for reasons best known to them, as the party remained stronger and perfomed excellently well in the elections, evidenced by the victory of the party in the Imo state governorship election.
He further commended the PDP Governors especially those of the South-East extraction for living up to their campaign promises, citing the award of best Governor of the year 2019 to David Umahi by a reputable Media institution, Business Day newspaper, a day ago, as one of the eloquent testimonies that the PDP Governors are performing excellently well.
Finally he urged the public to disregard the defection rumor, especially as it is coming from an unsteady character, who has no integrity to protect.
