Senator Ifeanyi Araraume’s Political Group, Destiny Organisation, has debunked claims that he has finally joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Some news blogs and newpapers had reported within the week that Senator Samuel Anyanwu of the PDP had disclosed in a statement that Senators Araraume and Rochas Okorocha had defected to the PDP as a result of the face-off between them and the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
In a Statement signed by Hon. Stanley Nzekwe, Destiny Organisation maintained that those behind Araraume’s defection rumour, were political enemies who were threatened by Araraume’s weight and influence in Imo State Politics.
The Group maintained that Araraume would never leave APC because “he is one of the pioneer members and builders of the Party in Imo State.”
The Group added that it would be unusual for a man to abandon a house he built for strangers to occupy.
It warned that those who were peddling the falsehood would reap shame if they did not desist from the dangerous rumour.
It added that Araraume was involved in building the APC at all levels and wondered why he would leave the Party for those it called “political wanderers and scavengers” whom it said “have nothing to offer the people.”
It added that the pioneer members of Imo APC had commenced genuine mobilisation of Imo People to join the Party and help in consolidating the gains the Party had made so far.
The Group enjoined members of the public to disregard the Araraume-defection rumour; describing it as a gimmick meant to deceive the public and create disharmony between Senator Araraume and the leaders of APC.
The Group noted that Senator Anyanwu had already disowned the report.
It described the rumour as satanic and irresponsible journalism.
