I'M BEING PERSECUTED FOR DUMPING APC - GOV. ORTOM
The Governor saw this act by the EFCC as being strange stating that he is a law abiding Governor and would seek legal means to handle his case.... "I think that the EFCC would have been in the best position to answer that question because it was strange to me and that was why I went to court. I am a law abiding governor and I prefer the legal means to handle my case. I cannot stop the EFCC from doing their investigation as long as they are doing it within the ambit of the law, not doing it illegally and with impunity like we saw security agencies, the Police and DSS coming here to seal up the State House of Assembly......."
Furthermore, Gov. Ortom speaking on his defection to the APC and his persecutions said, "Well, I must say that circumstances took me to the APC in the first place. As far as I know I was just on sabbatical. I was a foreigner in APC, nobody considered me as governor, nobody felt that I should also participate in the formation of the structure of the party even though I have large followership..... I was treated like a foreigner in the APC, like I wasn’t part of it. So I decided to go back to my home which is the PDP, now that the party has rebranded and the party has also apologized, accepting that the way we had conducted our affairs in the past were not right and I have also seen the reforms from the current leadership of the party.... So for me it was a home coming and you could see the rousing welcome that was accorded me when I got back to PDP. So it is home and it is about my freedom and I should be allowed. All these persecutions you are seeing, from EFCC to the police to DSS and all that, are because I left the APC....."
