The Factional Acting Caretaker Committee Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Tony Okocha has again said Martin Amaewhule and others never defected to the party.
Okocha in a statement on Thursday, said what Amaewhule and his men did was a mere political gimmick.
According to him, despite the fact that he wants them in his party, none of them has agreed to join the party.
“People say Wike has decamped to the APC. They also say that the 27 lawmakers currently fighting with Fubara have defected to the APC
“I need to make this clear to everyone. Much as I wish to have them in my fold, none of them has agreed to join us.
“I am the one that should know if they did. But, clearly, they have not. What the lawmakers did was a political gimmick.
I tried to woo them, but they kept vacillating and did not. To defect, they must go to their wards, register and get their membership cards. None of them has done that.”
