Reacting to Chidoka’s statement, Okoye asked where was the PDP chieftain’s conscience when he supported Atiku Abubakar, a Fulani man, to succeed another Fulani man, Muhammadu Buhari, after eight years in office.
In a statement jointly signed by himself and the national secretary, Barr Emmanuel Nnaji, which was sent to Legit.ng, it was said that Chidoka should leave APC internal affairs and face his party, the PDP.
He said:
“Where was his Igbo conscience when he supported Atiku against his Igbo kinsman Mr Peter Obi. Then he did not advise his party PDP to give Obi the ticket. In fact, he was among those that frustrated Obi out from PDP to Labour Party.
“Chidoka should leave APC internal affairs and face his already adieued PDP
“He should stop that grandstanding as It will not help him”
Okoye, a member APC Presidential Campaign Council in Anambra, added that the people in the ruling APC know how to sort their affairs and know where the next national chairman would come from and not from the southeast
“The Coalition of South East APC Support Groups are in solidarity with the party and in support of any action that has the imprints of our national leader and President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
