The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the 2023 general election in Ebonyi State, Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, has dismissed speculations linking him with a defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a strongly worded statement issued on Wednesday, Odii described the rumours as unfounded and politically motivated, asserting that his commitment to the PDP and its ideals remains unwavering.

“I am not contemplating joining the APC, not now and not in the foreseeable future,” Odii declared. “There is no ideological, political, or developmental justification that would compel me to take such a step.”

His response comes in reaction to comments made by the Ebonyi State APC Chairman, Stanley Okoro Emegha, who recently suggested that the PDP stalwart might be eyeing a switch to the ruling party.

Odii, however, stressed that his political philosophy is anchored in purposeful leadership and the pursuit of justice and equity.

“I remain devoted to building a society governed by fairness and democratic principles. Opportunism and political convenience have no place in my agenda,” he said.

The businessman-turned-politician also urged political leaders to avoid engaging in baseless speculation that could mislead the public and distort political discourse in the state.

“While I respect Mr. Emegha’s right to promote his party, I urge those in leadership to be guided by truth and responsibility in their public statements,” he cautioned.

Chief Odii’s statement reinforces his stance as a committed opposition figure in Ebonyi State politics and signals his continued interest in promoting development through a people-centered approach.
