Odigie-Oyegun said this in Abuja on Sunday, June 3, in his response to allegations made against him by the governor.
Okorocha had alleged that attacks against him came from some APC stakeholders in Imo state because he opposed the tenure elongation for the party leadership moved by Oyegun.
Although Odigie-Oyegun remarked that he would not go into details about the issue, he said: “There is a united voice against the governor.”
Moreover, he wondered why Okorocha, who was not even the most vocal opponent of the “so called” tenure elongation, was the only one allegedly fished out for a witch-hunt.
