Imoke denies becoming the next National Chairman of PDP.
Cross River State Governor Liyel Imoke has denied reports that he
is interested in taking over the position of the National Chairman of
the People’s Democratic Party, which is currently occupied by Alhaji
Adamu Mu’azu.
Imoke, who spoke with journalists on Friday at the Margaret Ekpo
International Airport in Calabar, said he would stay from public office
after May 29 handover and remain a firm member of the party.
He said, “I have been in the public limelight for much longer than
16 years. I intend to step away from the public limelight, even though I
remain a loyal party member, a strong supporter of my party.
I will
work for my political party to the extent that is necessary but I do not
intend to run for any public office.”
When asked what level of confidence he had in the leadership of
Adamu Mu’azu as the chairman of party after the 2015 elections, Imoke
said, “The party faced a defeat, a major defeat that will obviously have
some consequences and some impact.
