Vice President of Ojoto Youths Association (OYA) Muoghalu Chidozie, yesterday, debunked claims that he and other youths of the community have joined the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Speaking at a meeting with the Labour Party candidate in Idemili North/South Federal Constituency, he said: “I came because I believe in him. Candidates contesting for Idemili North/South have reached out to me and other Ojoto Youths. I thank God the meeting with Hon Uche Okonkwo ended successfully. Don’t mind the rumours flying around, forget about the pictures on social media. We have come to identify with our own.”

Also speaking, Mr. Okafor Kingsley, brought the attention of Okonkwo to the claims that Ojoto youths have joined APGA.

According to him, those rumours are the handwork of desperate politicians who want to take advantage of them.

Ojoto youths also noted that their visit to the Transition Chairperson of Idemili South Local Government should not be termed as defection to APGA, saying anyone disseminating such information is only trying to mislead the people of Idemili North/South Federal Constituency.

The youths, however, urged the public to disregard such information, assuring Okonkwo that they strongly believe in his vision for the constituency.

In his response, Okonkwo thanked Ojoto youths for endorsing him, urging them to always be united.
