The Deputy National Chairman of the Labour Party, Clement Ojukwu, on Wednesday dismissed reports that he had defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), calling the claims false and misleading. In a statement issued by the party and dated December 31, Ojukwu said he remained a committed member of the Labour Party and had no intention of leaving the organisation he helped to build. “I remain a loyal member of the Labour Party,” Ojukwu said. He said he had no reason to leave the Labour Party for what he described as an unknown destination. He said party supporters had reaffirmed their loyalty to the current national leadership, led by Julius Abure, for whom he serves as deputy.
