Former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Elder Godsday Orubebe has described his rumoured exit from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as false and misleading.
The former minister, who spoke through one of his aides, Ekenwa Akwagbe in Warri said he had no reason to decamp from the PDP.
If there would ever be any such need, Orubebe said such decision would not be conveyed without him addressing a press conference to inform the world.
Reports indicated the former minister with two of his former colleagues, had decided to abandon the PDP for the Social Democratic Party (SDP) over alleged hijack of the opposition party by Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike.
But Orubebe said: “There’s no truth in it, he has said he has not dumped the PDP for any other party, including SDP.
“If he has any reason to leave the PDP, he’s going to personally address a press conference and not anybody coming on his behalf to write what they have written.
“What has been published about him decamping from the PDP is both false and misleading, a figment of the writers imagination.”
