Former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has said that he has no plans to quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He said this during a well-attended Abia State PDP caucus meeting held at the new party secretariat at Onyerubi Crescent, Ogurube Layout, Umuahia.
Ikpeazu assured that he would rather stay back with others to rebuild the former ruling party.
The governor called for unity of purpose among members of the party in the state to ensure that the party quickly returns to winning ways, stated that the exit of some of his former aides to other political parties remains their personal choice.
“We must all take individual responsibility for our performance in the 2023 elections even as our party is going through self-cleansing at the moment.
“I will remain in PDP and will never be found wanting in my responsibilities to our party and its rebuilding process.
“Those who want to leave will leave no matter what you do but loyalty is also about the realization that at some point this party has been good to you.
“It is now time for sacrifice, especially from those who previously benefitted from our party in one way or another as we must all join hands to reposition it,” Ikpeazu said.
