Okorocha was quoted to have given this clarification while addressing members of the state APC Working Committee, and leaders of the party in the zones, local government and wards, during a meeting.

He was quoted as telling the party officials, that “our Party is the APC. Don’t be confused when I said that there were bad people and good people in both APC and PDP.

“The good people in the two parties should come together for the good of the nation. I was talking about a movement and not a party.

“I have not left the APC. I am still in the APC. Nobody has a stake in APC more than me.”
