His message reads: “This is to refute the news in circulation that I am leading Igbo people to the palace of Oba of Lagos to pledge support for the candidacy of Akinwunmi Ambode for Gov. of Lagos State.
“The story is not true and should be disregarded. It is the handiwork of mischief makers.
“I am presently (3pm) at Sheraton Hotel in Lagos with six elected PDP federal house of representatives members. We are in a meeting to discuss ways to move the party forward.”
