“Hon. Christopher Ochor Ochor does not shy away from being a steadfast Party loyalist, and an unrepentant and proud supporter of PDP led Governments since 1999 especially that of the current performing Government of Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa.”

“Hon Ochor Ochor, in preparing for the forthcoming election has developed and build structures in the ten wards of the LGA, this has made him a credible and strong player in the race.”

He called on politicians, especially on same political platform to do away with blackmailing of opponents, and the authorities, as he denounced the use of blackmail to gain supports, especially as such actions is coming from those who had been disloyal to the party and to sponsors.

“Therefore the resort of our opponent, whose history of Party disloyalty, disrespect of constituted authority, and betrayal of sponsors, to petitioning against the cordial working relationship of Hon. Ochor Ochor and the party structure can only be summarized to be cheap and unnecessary blackmail.”

The statement reiterated that his intention to run and represent the people of Ukwuani in the State House of Assembly is borne out of love to attract development to the area.

“His declaration to contest is based purely on his capability, relevance and experience which will quickly and effectively translate to development of Ukwuani Constituency in the current and coming dispensation.”
