The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said that contrary to speculations, former President Goodluck Jonathan is still a member of the party and has not resigned.
The clarification is coming amid speculations that the former President is joining the All Progressives Congress (APC) to vie for the presidential seat in 2023 election.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Debo Ologunagba, made the clarification in an interview on Channels TV.
He said “As far as today, I am not aware of his resignation from the membership of the party [PDP]”
“I would assume it is safe to say that he is a member of the party,” the PDP spokesman maintained. “If events follow thereafter, we can speak to that.”
According to him, the party would not respond to rumours about Jonathan’s defection, saying there are no facts to prove such.
Ologunagba said questions about the former president’s defection speculations should be channeled to him and his ward in Bayelsa State.
“Membership of the party is personal. Membership of the party is at the ward level,” he added.
“I can’t speak for him. I don’t speak for the former President,” the PDP chieftain stressed.
