Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has said members and leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state are not aware that Senator Hope Uzodinma has joined the party.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary Sam Onwuemeodo, the governor said APC in Imo heard about the rumour of Uzodinma’s entry into the party, just like any other Nigerian.
Onwuemeodo quoted Governor Okorocha as speaking during a meeting with APC leaders across the state, including National Assembly members in Owerri yesterday.
He said there are laid down rules and procedures spelt out in the constitution of the party, which those who want to join the party must follow.
“It is insulting to the party in the state, for someone to be talking about joining the party from Abuja. The procedure is that you start from your ward to your local government and, then, the state, and the state will inform the party at the national level that you are now a member. The reverse cannot be the case.
