A political pressure group on the platform of Ethiope East Realistic and Actualization Movement, has debunked a report on Lovette Idisi’s recent defection to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying that the rumour has been running for the past two years.
The group’s Publicity Secretary, Comrade Anthony Akpobome, made the statement while reacting to a report published in a local tabloid, where their principal was reported as having recently defected to PDP in Eku.
He described the report as misinformation that should be discarded.
The group said, “Our principal, Lovette Idisi, defected about two years ago at the PDP secretariat, Isiokolo, headquarter of Ethiope East in the presence of the state Chairman, Peter Nwanboshi, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, Chief Bernard Edewor, Chief Ovie Omo-Agege, Ethiope East Council Chairman, Sunday Onoriode and a host of others, so how could he have defected again to the same party?
“As a member of the party it is expected that our principal, Barr. Lovette Idisi, will always attend meetings of the party when he is around and that was what the reporter, who hadn’t the idea that he is a member of the party, joined him among Chief Philip Eyagomare and others who just defected to the party.”
The group advised journalists to always confirm their stories and details before going to the press, saying that their principal is an old not a new member as reported in the story.
