Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has said that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar resigning from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), was not a good development for the party.
The former Nigerian Vice President recently defected from the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ahead of the 2019 Presidential Election.
The Imo State Governor spoke with journalists after receiving an honorary doctorate degree at the Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Ondo State on Saturday.
Okorocha described Atiku Abubakar as a heavyweight politician.
The Governor said, “I have taken a holistic view of our party, his (Atiku) exit is not the best because no matter how anybody thinks, Atiku carries some political weight. His leaving our party is not the best.
Okorocha, however, said that since the former Vice President had decided to move on politically by going to another political party, the APC would make amend and his (Atiku) place will be filled up accordingly.
