A former Deputy Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Christopher Stephen Ekpenyong, yesterday denied reports in a section of the media that he has defected to the APC.
It was reported that Ekpenyong had ditched the PDP which brought him to power in a joint ticket in 1999 as deputy governor.
“The insinuation that I have decamped to the APC remains in the warped imaginations of the purveyors of such unfounded allegation. I have never spoken or discussed my political future with anybody; I don’t know whether it is my spirit that they see there.
“Those who cooked the rumour should be able to substantiate as to what forum I declared for the APC,” he said.
