Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, has denied media reports that he hosted the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal to a reception after the latter defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday.
Ihedioha in a statement by his chief press secretary, Oke Epia dismissed the report as a figment of the imagination of those who intend to cause disaffection between him and the PDP, insisting that no such thing happened.
“It is on record that the deputy speaker is a founding member of the PDP, has remained in the party since 1998 and will continue to protect and promote its interest and fortunes. He will therefore not be moved by the antics of some anti-democratic elements who cannot compete fairly and would rather smear others to secure advantage,” he emphasised.
