The former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, has said the party is no longer exciting.
He also described happenings in the party as embarrassing.
Nwodo was reacting to stories in the media that he has dumped the former ruling party and joined the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Nwodo, a pioneer National Secretary of PDP and former Governor of old Enugu State who stated this in a statement he signed in Abuja on Monday, said that it was his wife who defected to the APC.
He said, “It is improper for the media to stand merely on my wife being present at a meeting that I was not, to conclude that I have joined the APC disregarding the fact that my wife as an adult has her own political life.
“As one of the founding fathers of PDP who has held the highest office in the party, I know the statutory procedure of resigning and would willingly do that if necessary.”
Nwodo said although “a number of issues within the PDP remain embarrassing to the founding fathers, the truth is that I’m still a member of the PDP and has not joined the APC.”
The former governor then urged his numerous supporters across the country particularly in Enugu State to disregard the purported story as his political direction would not be hidden if the need arose.
