Meanwhile the PDP in the state, led by the state party Chairman, Edwin Uzor, reiterated that the defection to the opposition poses no threat to the party,
The Chairman also raised allegations of financial misappropriation against Chief Akpeki, accusing him of receiving monies for contracts without executing the projects.
