Moreover, in a video shared on his Facebook page, the PDP chieftain lamented being misquoted by some persons who claimed he regretted voting for the party during the poll.

His words:

“I did not also say I regretted voting for an Owerri zone man during the 2019 governorship election. I was quoted wrongly in the media and, because of this, a pack of riffraff has been calling for my sacking from the PDP.
“No riffraff can sack me from the PDP. I am a life BOT member of the PDP. I know the prominent role I played in making sure that the party won the 2019 Imo governorship election.”

Meanwhile, aspirants under the age of 35 seeking to contest for elective positions on the platform of the PDP should be exempted from the payment of nomination fees, according to the party's National Reconciliation and Strategy Committee (NRSC).
