CHAIRMAN of the All Progressives Congress ,APC, Governors Forum and Imo State governor, Mr. Rochas Okorocha, yesterday, said that the party was not jittery but concerned about the spate of defection in its Ondo State chapter following the emergence of Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, as governorship candidate.

Okorocha, however, dispelled rumours of division among the 23 governors.

He spoke in Akure during a visit to mobilise support for Akeredolu ahead of the governorship election.

His words: “We are not jittery but concerned. The PDP, AD candidates are strong but I know we will win. We are not happy that we are losing some of our party members.

“Those who are aggrieved by any means should please come back. Sometimes, it is about communication, if the right communication was dispatched, I don’t think this would have happened.

“Everybody is still with him; Bola Tinubu is still with him, Ogun, Osun, Lagos, Oyo governors are with him. The problem is that there is a communication gap.

“We are all together and by the grace of God, Ondo State will be APC compliant. All the governors of APC have met and resolved to work for the victory of the party and its candidate, Akeredolu in the forthcoming governorship election.’’

The governor also paid a courtesy visit to Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Aladelusi in his palace.
