Orji, who made the disclosure in a statement issued to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday and signed by his Media Adviser and Legislative Aide, Eddie Onuzuruike, said as he has done before during the last general elections, he still respects people’s right to choose their leaders.
“It has come to our notice that some people in our great party the PDP have relapsed into the complacency of name dropping and false claims in the ongoing LGA primary elections asserting that Senator T A Orji, Ochendo has endorsed them as the chosen candidates.
“Let it be noted that he has not endorsed anybody in any of the LGAs, be they male or female in Abia State. As exemplified in the governorship elections of 2015, he is a man of equity, freedom of choice and justice. He believes in exercising full democratic principles in all its ramifications. Candidates should work hard to sell themselves to the people they intend to serve.
“He advises all to take seriously the slogan of the party which is Power to The People. Let the people decide who will serve them,” the statement added.
The chairmanship and councillorship elections will hold in the 17 local government areas and 292 electoral wards of the state on Saturday, December 17, 2016 as announced by the Abia State Independent Electoral Commission (ABSIEC).
