Main reason why Okorocha is still in APC — Atiku

The Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu, has said that Okorocha was still a member of the APC because he respects the party and President Muhammadu Buhari.

Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Bagudu stated that despite Okorocha’s anger with the party, he was still the Chairman of Progressives Governors’ Forum.

His words, “Chief Rochas Okorocha has enormous regards to President Muhammadu Buhari. He respects his party to the extent that he has not left his party and he still believes in his party.

“He was not happy maybe about some things that have happened to him or he perceived has happened to him and I think he has been very careful to draw the distinction,” he stated.

This is coming at a time Okorocha accused the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole and members of the party of witch-hunting him.

He disclosed that the evil he feared while in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had befallen him ten times in the APC.

“That the party that I formed will treat me in this manner is rather unfortunate. The evil I feared in the PDP has befallen me 10 times in the APC. I hate injustice,” he had said.
