“APC is firmly rooted across the 319 wards of our state, ofcourse there are rumours of people defecting, but if you investigate deeply you will find out that majority of those who left, did not leave with our members, rather they left alone.
“We think it is necessary for the media to report our party appropriately by investigating and going beyond what politicians say,” Nwauju said.
He added:“We have those who want to see to the betterment of the society and they are interested in the common humanity, they are interested that Nigeria should move forward,
“Politics should also not be for those who are serving their personal purse,Our leader believes in common humanity and that’s why he has raised men in the state and beyond.
“We cannot tell our own story by ourselves, that’s why we are seeking this support of the media to investigate and understand the motive of those defectors.”
