Sacked Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Chief Tony Okocha Says embattled 27 Rivers lawmakers are not members of the party as they never defected.
Okocha, who made this known in a statement said what he was doing at the time was to woo them to the APC, because of the issues in the PDP.
According to him, Amaewhule and his men never defected to the party, adding that there is no record suggesting they did so.
“At some point I don’t get it; the House of Assembly members have said over and over again that they are not members of the All Progressives Congress and I confirm to you that they are not. What we are doing with them is to woo them to come and join us because we discovered that they were having their own internal crisis in their party.
“I am speaking to you in all authority that they never defected to the All Progressives Congress. There is no record. At least, I am in charge; it would have been joy for me that they came over. They didn’t,” he said.
