This is according to a statement issued by Arenyeka on Monday, January 6, Vanguard reports.

According to Arenyeka, jobless political hirelings and their ignoble sponsors are behind the rumour of the alleged defection of Governor Oborevwori to the APC.

Arenyeka called on members of the public to disregard the “dubious speculation”.

He reassured Deltans all that nothing can distract Governor Oborevwori from delivering good governance through his laudable M.O.R.E agenda.

“We particularly state in clear terms that the faceless group of individuals spreading the rumours and parading themselves as concerned leaders of the PDP are impostors and are not members of our great Party.

“We strongly condemn in all vehemence the vile and wicked propaganda of the depraved perpetrators, particularly the key peddler, a notorious serial blackmailer and dishonest scoundrel who would live in infamy for concocting lies as a means of survival.”
