A few of the reports claimed that Utomi said that the ruling party “has disappointed many by failing to live up to expectations.”But Utomi has disputed the claims. The online reports, according to Leonard Obibi of Pat Utomi Support Hub (PUSH), such reports were aimed at discrediting the professor. Utomi recently inaugurated a Think-tank for the rescue of Delta State, and when asked by a reporter recalled how the APC was founded and nurtured eventually into a ruling party. The founding of the APC, Utomi recalled, began with the Concerned Professionals who formed a political party by taking over the ADC. He said likes of Olu Falae and a host of other notable technocrats including Utomi worked tirelessly together to move the idea forward.
