He described the sponsored media attacks and protests as rantings from failed "coup' plotters." by Ex-governor Ihedioha has been accused of destabilizing Imo PDP presidential campaign council.
Addressing a section of the media at the Atiku-Okowa Campaign Office in Owerri, he identified those behind the stage-managed protests and sponsored media attacks against the Director General of Imo PDP Presidential Campaign Council, A visibly unhappy Ikoku said engineers of such 'unruly behaviour' are hell-bent on creating crisis in the party in their desperate bid to portray Hon. Egu in a bad light.
When asked about those fuelling the crisis rocking the Imo PDP PCC, Ikoku disclosed that a prominent governorship aspirant in the party who is afraid of contesting the guber ticket with other aspirants is behind the sponsored media reports against the council.
He said: ''I won't keep quiet and allow some politicians destroy the image of the Director General of Imo PDP PCC just because Egu has refused to join issues with the mischief makers." "For purposes of clarity, I wish to inform the former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Emeka Ihedioha is only interested in the funds allocated for the presidential campaign operations, He is not interested if our candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar wins or not.
"His primary agenda is to hijack the funds and distribute at his discretion but unfortunately, Hon Greg Egu is not that kind of man you will try such with. ''As I speak to you, Ihedioha has not invested a kobo in the Atiku-Okowa campaign project in the state instead he is laying ambush on how to displace the Director General of the Campaign Council, Egu so as for him to field in any of his surrogates to lead the campaign.
''No wonder on daily basis, we wake up to read one malicious media report and the other with unfounded claims of Misappropriation of fund, all targeted at tarnishing the image of some leaders in the Imo PDP PCC." Ikoku stated that PDP chieftains are expected to close ranks and fashion out a strategy on how to solicit votes for Atiku in the 2023 elections. He said the campaign office of Atiku-Okowa was personally secured and furnished by the national secretary of PDP, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
