No Shift in Loyalties for PDP's Odii: APC Transition Unlikely
Former PDP Governorship Candidate for Ebonyi, Odii Discusses His Move to APC
According to our zap, Ebonyi State's PDP governorship candidate for the 2023 general election, Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, has flat-out denied rumors of a potential switch to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
These speculations stemmed from the remarks made by the Ebonyi State APC chairman, Stanley Okoro Emegha, who hinted at Odii potentially pondering a move to their party.
In a statement issued on a Wednesday whirlwind, Odii unequivocally shot down these suggestions, asserting that he hasn't encountered any persuasive reasons compelling such a move.
The statement declared: "It's high time I set the record straight: I ain't considering joining the APC, now or any time soon. I can't see any reason, be it ideological, political, or developmental, that would warrant such a decision.
"My loyalty stays locked with the ideals of purposeful leadership, people-centric governance, and authentic democratic advancement. These principles continue to steer my actions and political engagements. I'm all about building a community based on justice, equity, and service, not sheer opportunism or political convenience.
"Let's give credit where it's due—Emegha's got the right to air his opinions and peddle his party, but come on, folks. Political actors, especially those in the spotlight, need to steer clear of conjectural statements that might deceive the public or skew the political landscape of Ebonyi State."
