Honorable Ugochinyere Imo Ikenga, a member representing Ideato North and South of Imo State in the Federal House of Representatives, said that members who have left the party to the opposition party and have declared support for them have declared war on the PDP, and they are committed to destroying the PDP. He made reference to a former governor who benefited greatly from the party as an LG chairman, chief of staff, minister, and governor. He then decided to work for the APC and boldly said he was committed to the party.
As reported by The Sun News in an interview with Channels TV, the Honorable Ugochinyere Imo Ikenga said, "There will be no intervention; the line has been clearly drawn on this particular matter. You have a member of your party, a former governor who has benefited immensely from the party as a local government chairman, as a chief of staff, as a minister, and as a governor. The party almost gave him a platform to reach the heights he's at today, but he decides to walk for the ruling party that doesn’t want your own party to survive, and then boldly goes publicly to say that his commitment is to ensure that your political party, the PDP, does not come anywhere near winning any presidential election till after 2027. So there cannot be an intervention. They are no longer members of the party. They have declared war on the party. They’re committed to destroying the party."
